About Utopia

Utopia is a way of thinking about fluid responsive design, in which type and space scales are defined for a small screen and a large screen, and the browser interpolates between the two according to the current viewport width. The aim is to scale typography and spacing proportionally without relying on a set of arbitrary breakpoints.

Utopia is described as an approach rather than a product, plugin or framework, and there is no program or dependency to install. The site offers explanatory articles and a video introduction, and states that free supporting tools are in development.
