Mastering Fluid Typography to Boost Your MyListing Design Game

In this guide, I show you how to implement fluid typography on your MyListing website to up your design game. Implementing fluid typography will save you time and headaches while making your website more scalable and manageable in the future.

Responsive typography in Elementor usually depends on a breakpoint system, which is effective for many design aspects but not ideal for typography.

Traditional breakpoint-based systems cause abrupt changes in text size at specific points. On the other hand, fluid typography ensures smooth, gradual text resizing across different viewport sizes.

Creating a responsive typography framework within Elementor (and the WordPress editor) simplifies and enhances your web design process. With a fluid typography framework, your font sizes automatically adjust, ensuring each text element scales proportionately across all screen sizes.

Let’s explore how fluid typography can revolutionize your approach to responsive text for your MyListing website. Please find the video tutorial below and the free resources mentioned throughout.

IMPORTANT: Fluid Typography CSS Package & MyListing Websites

Many text-based elements are assigned a heading (H1-H6) within MyListing websites. For example, the words ‘Sign In’ and ‘Register’ on the default ‘Sign In/Register Page’ are assigned an H3 heading.

Therefore, the fluid typography you set using the provided CSS will impact these H3 headings. Don’t worry; you have options.

• Option 1: (Recommended) Instead of applying the CSS globally, use a code snippet plugin, like WPCodeBox, that allows you to assign CSS conditionally. In this case, we only want to apply the provided CSS to Single Blog Posts, which I’ve done for the Starter Sites.
• Option 2: Don’t use the CSS at all; only use the Fluid Typography for Elementor-based content.
• Option 3 (Not Recommended): Apply additional CSS as you encounter elements that need adjusting. This requires time to find the elements and CSS knowledge.
