Typographic Scale
A modular, pentatonic scale that matches the so called Classic Typographic Scale.
The scale works by having a fixed ratio – two – with a set number of ‘notes’ in between – five. In other words every fifth ‘note’, the font size doubles. The base font-size is 12 px set on the <html> element.
