Jason Santa Maria's On Web Typography [2] originally included a "worked" example that you could put into a page and pull apart to start building similar things in your own projects. However, before it shipped, this section was dropped.

With calc and clamp now in the mix, it seems as if we no longer agree that 1rem=16px even if px is probably the most precise screen unit we have.

It's not the end goal, but it feels like we're throwing away the map which could explain how to reach said goal.
