/css/ - CSS Masters

I was tweaking some tight typographic scales for a client today and realized how much I hate when gap messes with the visual rhythm of inline flex elements. It is fine for big blocks but once you start using it on small spans or tags, the math just breaks. Suddenly that kerning looks totally off because the space between items isnt actually part of the text flow. You end up having to manually override margins or use some hacky padding trick to get the optical balance back. It is such a headache when you are trying to maintain perfect tracking across a whole UI. I hate how much it forces me to second guess my font settings.
