Type.js is a JavaScript library that adds new typographic CSS properties like kerning-pairs, rag-adjust, widow-adjust, and min/max font-size to web pages. It parses on-page style tags and applies these custom properties via JavaScript, giving finer control over web typography.

Use cases

• manually kern specific glyph pairs in css
• prevent widows in paragraphs
• control where lines break in a paragraph
• set minimum and maximum font-size with viewport units
• improve typography on a website without changing fonts

When to choose

• you need fine typographic control like manual kerning or widow elimination in vanilla CSS
• your project uses on-page style tags and you want new CSS-like properties without a preprocessor

When to avoid

• your styles live in external CSS files or inline styles, which are not supported
• you need an actively maintained solution - the project has had no releases since 2016
• you use a modern CSS preprocessor or PostCSS plugin that already handles these features
