What is PT?
Points (pt) are an absolute CSS unit traditionally used in print design, where 1pt equals 1/72nd of an inch. In web contexts, points are often converted at a 3:4 ratio with pixels (3pt = 4px). While less common in modern web design, points remain relevant for print stylesheets and PDF generation.
What is VW?
Viewport Width (vw) is a relative CSS unit where 1vw equals 1% of the browser viewport's width. This unit scales automatically as the viewport changes, making it ideal for responsive typography and fluid layouts. VW units are particularly useful for creating designs that adapt seamlessly across different screen sizes without media queries.
