stop using media queries for every single font size change. use clamp to let the text scale between a min and max value so you don't have to manage fifty different breakpoints for typography.

font-size: clamp(1rem, 5vw, 2.5rem);

tbh it makes the fluid stuff way easier than manual overrides

the 5vw part always feels too aggressive for me on huge monitors. how did you decide on that specific viewport multiplier?

I ran into that same issue on a 4k display last week. Did you use any calc() math to keep the scaling more predictable or just eyeball it?

i usually just eyeball it too until i realize the accessibility is getting weirdly wonky on small screens, but i've found that adding a little bit of rem to the middle value helps keep things more grounded than just using pure viewport units. i hate when text becomes unreadable because someone forgot about zoom settings, so i try to make sure there's enough fixed weight in there to prevent that ~~aggressive~~ massive scaling on ultra-wide monitors. do you find yourself sticking to a specific ratio for your line heights when you use this?
