I like Andy’s idea here:
.wrapper { width: clamp(16rem, 90vw, 70rem); margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 1.5rem; padding-right: 1.5rem;
}Normally I’d just set a max-width there, but as Andy says:
This becomes a slight issue in mid-sized viewports, such as tablets in portrait mode, in long-form content, such as this article because contextually, the line-lengths feel very long.
So, on super large screens, you’ll get capped at 70rem (or whatever you think a good maximum is), and on small screens you’ll get full width, which is fine. But it’s those in-betweens that aren’t so great. I made a little demo to get a feel for it. This video makes it clear I think:
