In reply to Jon Brown.

Glad you like the new look, Jon! Just for context, this design was implemented using blocks (mostly Core blocks: https://github.com/WordPress/wporg-main-2022/blob/trunk/source/wp-content/themes/wporg-main-2022/patterns/front-page.php). I can imagine this was a bit confusing to follow along so I wanted to be sure to connect the dots around the actual implemention.

On a related note, if you or anyone else is looking to get into block development and extending core blocks, I definitely recommend checking out the handbook and offering feedback on what’s missing so the experience can continue to improve for everyone: https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/block-api/

On the topic of responsiveness, testing fluid typography would also be a great way to get your feedback and perspective heard:

Finally, lots of work is being done to standardize what’s available that you might be interested in following along: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/43241 This has come up a fair amount in the FSE Outreach Program so I'm quite excited to see work being done to unify (and expand) where these various tools are.

I'm @annezazu in WordPress.org slack in case you want to chat more.
