Oh I love this a surprising amount. Also a good reminder of some of the dividends of vibe coding -- this would have been an extremely useful tool for at least two decades of web designers if published in the early 2000s. Even now for a type nerd who is not a designer, it was fun to play with -- really cool.

the export button actually being useful is the difference here, most of these type scale tools are fun to play with then you have to manually rebuild everything anyway. gonna steal this workflow for setting up type styles before I even open framer
