Basetype

An eloquently modular typographic scale tool using Sass.

Components

_settings.scss

Using Sass $maps, this is where you put your typeface settings you are using for your project. Think of it as your _data directory in Jekyll. It won't ever appear in your production code, it's there for data reference for when you pass in your functions/mixins.

_functions.scss

Functions/mixins that contain the magic from The Ultimate Package.

Example

// Your project's Sass

@import "settings";
@import "functions";

h1 {
  font-family: font-family($font-opensans);
  @include font-scale(large);
}

// CSS output

h1 {
  font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif;
  font-size: 36px;
  line-height: 42px;
}

==============================

Again, props to The Ultimate Package for the mixin magic. Make sure to include and @import the two partials into your new project and you're good to go. Let me know if you have any questions.
