Responsive Letter Spacing

Minimizing the readability impact of a typographic brand requirement.

Last night I picked the C because it was there. Turns out the E decided to come along too, and without any announcement at the next stop its doors closed before I could switch. Went back to the C and THEN they announce they're going to be held to let the E go ahead.

Lucked out and got the express at 14th, caught up with the E by 42nd Times Square.

The new progress() function in CSS

Imagine a responsive hero image that becomes more transparent as the viewport gets narrower, helping text readability on small screens or a card that scales up slightly as the viewport grows, adding a subtle polish.

all the glyphs have widths that are multiples of a stripe, and as you can see (up toot) there are 6 extra stripes required in the 2nd row to fill the gap. I designed in the font for U+200A HAIR SPACE, U+2009 THIN SPACE, U+2008 PUNCTUATION SPACE to be 1-,2-,3-stripes wide. They can be used to center the text. With a U+2008 on each side (1st image).

For social media posts, it's a bit tight, and needs a bit of extra padding. So i add another U+200A either side.
