## What it is
A small JavaScript library that makes headings fully fluid by replacing text nodes with SVG elements sized via viewBox. It ensures headings scale proportionally with their container width in a performant way.

## Use cases
- make headings scale fluidly with viewport width
- responsive typography for display text
- replace heading text with scalable SVG
- prevent awkward line breaks in large headings
- fluid headline sizing without JavaScript resize listeners

## When to choose
- you need fully fluid, proportional heading scaling
- you want a tiny dependency-free typography utility
- SVG-based text rendering is acceptable for your browsers

## When to avoid
- you need selectable or accessible body text (SVG text has limitations)
- you must support very old browsers without SVG
- you need active maintenance or new features
