Dynamic Type

The iOS text size setting; text using system text styles grows and shrinks with it.

Definition

Users choose from extra small to accessibility sizes several times larger than the default. Text styles such as .body and .headline follow the setting; fixed point sizes don't. Layouts must let rows grow, avoid truncating essential text and switch from side-by-side to stacked arrangements at the largest sizes, and @ScaledMetric scales icons and spacing along with the text.

In practice

At the largest size, an order row stacks its icon, title and status vertically instead of squeezing them into one line.
