Fluid

I really like the newly-launched website for this year���s XOXO festival. I like that the design is pretty much the same for really small screens, really large screens, and everything in between because everything just scales. It���s simultaneously a flyer, a poster, and a billboard.

Trys has written about the websites he���s noticed using fluid type and spacing: There it is again, that fluid feeling.

I know what he means. I get a similar feeling when I���m on a site that adjusts fluidly to any browser window���it feels very ���webby.

I���ve had this feeling before.

When responsive design was on the rise, it was a real treat to come across a responsive site. After a while, it stopped being remarkable. Now if I come across a site that isn���t responsive, it feels broken.

And now it���s a treat to come across a site that uses fluid type. But how long will it be until it feels unremarkable? How will it be until a website that doesn���t use fluid type feels broken?
