Re: [csswg-drafts] Browser zoom unit for accessibility [css-values-and-units] (#6869)

Thanks @WestonThayer

These examples aren’t quite as dramatic as the demo above, but at higher zoom levels and smaller viewport sizes, the typographic hierarchies tend to flatten out. The difference is that in the example I shared this flattening of hierarchy happens fluidly every time the page is scaled. In the below examples, if these were fluid headlines, you would see the same effect with the headlines _“Don’t be fooled: The Supreme Court’s Texas abortion decision is a big defeat for Roe v. Wade_ in Vox and _“Chaotic footage captures violent melee at Atlantic City casino”_ in the NY Post.
