Creates text that scales according to the viewport width.
- Use the `clamp()` CSS function to clamp the value of `font-size` between `1rem` and `3rem`.
- Use the formula `8vw - 2rem` to calculate a responsive value for `font-size` (`1rem` at `600px`, `3rem` at `1000px`).
```html
<p class="fluid-type">Hello World!</p>
```
```css
.fluid-type {
font-size: clamp(1rem, 8vw - 2rem, 3rem);
}
```
