Remove oTypographySize. #214

Closed notlee closed 4 years ago

notlee commented 4 years ago

We introduced multiple font scales for specialist titles earlier in the year, so the result of oTypographySize depends on the font.

Instead of passing a font type to oTypographySize use oTypographySans, oTypographySerif, or oTypographyDisplay with arguments instead. This also includes progressive font loading styles for the updated size, where oTypographySize did not.

I'm unsure what I think about this. On the one hand it could make for a better looking more reliable UI when FT fonts haven't loaded yet. On the other hand it will bloat the user's CSS bundle.

Wish we could rely on font-display!

Example progressive font loading font-size adjustment:

.my-type {
    @include oTypographySans($scale: 1, $opts: ('font-family': false));
}
.my-type {
    font-size: 18px;
    line-height: 1.6;

    .o-typography--loading-sans .my-type {
        font-size: 15.66px;
    }
}

I've discussed some options with @rowanmanning

 /// -  present
@include oTypographySans($scale: 1); // font-family, size, line-height
@include oTypographySize($scale: 1, $font: 'sans'); // size, line-height

 /// -  option 1
 @include oTypographySans($scale: 1); // family, size, line-height
 @include oTypographySans($scale: 1, $opts: ('font-family': false)); // size, line-height

 /// -  option 2 
 @include oTypographySans($scale: 1); // size, line-height
 @include oTypographySans($scale: 1, $include-font-family: true); // family, size, line-height

 /// -  option 3
 @include oTypographySans($scale: 1); // family, size, line-height
 @include oTypographySans($scale: 1, $include-font-family: false); // size, line-height

Option 1 is clunky, it will encourage users to repeat the font family more excessively. Option 2, where the font family is not output by default, is more explicit in what the user wants and it therefore encourages only outputting the font family where needed. The migration will be more difficult and it's less intuitive we feel that a Sans mixin does not output a font family. Option 3, where the font family is included by default but may be excluded more easily, we think is the correct balance.
