How should a developer manage content within a fixed-size card?

A card's size must be fixed.

The content inside a card must adapt to the card's fixed size. A developer must determine card dimensions from real data, not assumptions.

A card must never change its size. The content inside the card must fit the card. A developer must check actual data to find the longest and shortest content. This helps choose the right card size. A developer should start with the smallest possible font size. Only make the font bigger if there is enough space. Do not use 'line-clamp' to hide text that does not fit. This means the font is too big or the card is too small. A developer must not use 'overflow:hidden' on content boxes. This hides a problem with sizing. It does not fix the problem. Test the card with very short and very long content. Both must look good in the same fixed card. Empty space around short content is good. This is part of good design. It is not wasted space.

A designer creates a card for job titles. The developer checks real job titles. Some are short, like 'HR'. Others are long, like 'Senior Manager of Global Innovation Ecosystems'. The developer sets the card size to fit the longest title with a readable font. Shorter titles will have more empty space. This ensures all titles fit without resizing the card or hiding text.
