## What it is
Sassline is a set of SCSS partials and mixins for setting web typography on a baseline grid using rems and a responsive modular scale. It automates the complex calculations for vertical rhythm, giving near print-level typographic control.

## Use cases
- set text on a baseline grid in a sass project
- achieve consistent vertical rhythm across a responsive website
- size type with a modular scale per breakpoint
- align text across columns with an optimal measure
- prototype typography for blogs or full site builds

## When to choose
- you're using Sass/SCSS and want print-style baseline grid typography
- you need rem-based vertical rhythm with modular scale support
- you want a small, focused typography starting point

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software
- your project uses pure CSS or modern CSS features instead of Sass
- you need a full design system or component library

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: css-framework, templating
- domain: web-development, frontend, web-design
- platform: -
- tags: typography, baseline-grid, sass, scss, vertical-rhythm, modular-scale, rems, unmaintained, web-server, nodejs
