I built a type scale generator that exports CSS, Tailwind v3/v4 & Style Dictionary tokens - all in the browser
Bilal Malik has developed a type scale generator that simplifies the process of creating typography scales for web design. The tool allows users to export CSS, Tailwind v3/v4, and Style Dictionary tokens directly in the browser. It features a live preview of font pairings and offers shareable URLs for easy collaboration.
- ▪The type scale generator supports multiple built-in ratios and custom ratios for typography scaling.
- ▪Users can preview over 1000 Google Fonts and see how they look with their chosen scales in real-time.
- ▪The tool provides export options in various formats, including CSS Custom Properties and Tailwind CSS.
