Clamp is a java script function that can be used to do fluid typography. Clamp does not solve the problem of container queries, as some people think it would. It's one of those functions that i just define in all my utilities. Just look at the show. Nonsese javoscript. And that is the function. If you ever want a clamp function, you don't need a library. You don't need just and paste this function in your code. This will work. W we use the same function all the time. What's that, nigge?
In this Hasty Treat, Scott and Wes talk about clamp and interpolate and how you might want to use them in your next project.
