Lockup

The lockup is parametric. Set font-size on .matter-lockup (or use the presets .matter-lockup--app/--nav/--hero/--print) and the mark side, gap, and tagline scale together off a single em.

Markup

<a href="/" class="matter-lockup matter-lockup--app">

Apply .matter-lockup--app / --nav / --hero / --print and let the ratios resolve the geometry.
Don't hard-code the gap in px. Every secondary measurement is a ratio of the em.
