Viewport Width (vw)

A CSS unit equal to 1% of the browser viewport width, enabling fluid sizing relative to screen width. Vw units are useful for responsive typography and full-width elements. Combine with max-width constraints for practical maximum sizes. See Relative, fixed, and viewport Sizing in Framer.
