+## Responsive typography
+
+*Responsive typography* refers to scaling text and components by simply adjusting the root element's `font-size` within a series of media queries. Bootstrap doesn't do this for you, but it's fairly easy to add if you need it.
+
+Here's an example of it in practice. Choose whatever `font-size`s and media queries you wish.
+
+{% highlight scss %}
+html {
+  font-size: 14px;
+}
+
+@include media-breakpoint-up(sm) {
+  html {
+    font-size: 16px;
+  }
+}
+
+@include media-breakpoint-up(md) {
+  html {
+    font-size: 28px;
+  }
+}
+
+@include media-breakpoint-up(lg) {
+  html {
+    font-size: 20px;
+  }
+}
+{% endhighlight %}
