Mastering Fluid Typography with CSS Clamp
The CSS `clamp(min, preferred, max)` function sets a value between a defined minimum and maximum range using a fluid viewport-relative middle value (vw).
Fluid typography removes rigid media query breakpoints, resulting in cleaner CSS stylesheets and smoother user experiences across all screen sizes.
