This adds basic styles for headers, paragraphs, and definition

I think we are supposed to keep the responsive text size for screens below 1200px, but I am not 100% sure about this.

Ah – so all of this (except the parts that say "xs" and "xl", maybe?) would be for <= 1200px only?

I think we are supposed to do both, i.e.

less than 1200px responsive text sizes with the new variables (i.e. H1 gets calculated with 2.25rem not 2.5rem)

greater than 1200px fixed font where it is 2.25rem not 2.5rem

But honestly this ticket was kind of confusing to me. I think @jcoyne has a better handle than I do.

Yes, it was my understanding that we would continue to have responsive text sizes.

Are the responsive sizes defined somewhere else? Do I just need to put most of these changes behind a breakpoint?

Updates most styles to only apply to XL breakpoint, since
below that they are responsive.

Updated to make most of the sizing styles only apply at >= 1200px.

Why are these needed? Aren't these the defaults?

🤷🏻 they were specified in the ticket. I can take it out if we want to just rely on browser default

Isn't this a challenge for accessibility? Some experts suggest no smaller than 1rem for body text. https://accessibe.com/blog/knowledgebase/ada-compliant-fonts

This will cause a font-size jump when you cross the threshold. Currently is scales smoothly to 2.5rem ( calc(1.375rem + 1.5vw);) which is the default size at 1200px width. Now it jumps down.
