• Responsive Helpers: Includes mixins for orientation and device-specific media queries, enabling designs that adapt to various screen sizes and resolutions.
• Advanced SCSS Functions: Contains a suite of functions for unit conversions, arithmetic operations, and generating sequences like Fibonacci, Lucas, and more.
• Accessibility Considerations: Ensures typography adheres to accessibility standards like WCAG.
• Dynamic Scaling: Implements CSS clamp for more dynamic scaling across a range of screen sizes.
