What is a Typography Scale?

A typography scale is a series of font sizes generated from a base size and a ratio. Just like musical scales create harmony through mathematical relationships between notes, type scales create visual harmony through proportional font sizes. Popular ratios include the Major Third (1.25), Perfect Fourth (1.333), and Golden Ratio (1.618).

Choosing the Right Scale

Smaller ratios (Minor Second, Major Second) create subtle size differences — great for content-heavy sites like blogs and documentation. Larger ratios (Perfect Fifth, Golden Ratio) create dramatic contrast — ideal for marketing pages and portfolios. The Major Third (1.25) is the most commonly used ratio for general web design.
