What real-word application would this have? I can see it working with a design where static text elements need to fit an entire space relative to the design. Which is huge. Anything else? I’m not creative.

yep, a design tool can offer it to make nice headlines or templates can use it numbers can fit into circles so that like "20" and "100" both work (that 3rd digit can be a doozy) grids and alignment being perfect fitting user generated content into spaces without using an ellipsis

Okay. I’m seeing less and less reasons to reach for anything but vanilla CSS when starting a new project.
