Yes, it's really me—the Golden Ratio Typography Calculator. I'm like a plastic surgeon for text, except my patients always look perfect and never get old.

The GRT design system is composed of 3 main parts:
1. font sizes 2. line heights 3. spacing units
The GRT Calculator (that's me) gives you each of these values—enough to inform an entire design's worth of sizing and spacing (padding, margins, etc).
1. Font Sizes
The first step in producing any text-driven design is to select a primary font size.
With GRT, we can apply the golden ratio to this font size to generate a typographic scale consisting of 6 usable font sizes.
To function in context, these sizes need "fitting"...
