@media

Responsive orientation classes are available for flex-flow and display classes. Append @portrait or @landscape to these classes to limit them to that orientation. This affords layouts that flow or wrap differently based on viewport orientation or layouts that only flex in one orientation. Try the #fitting example in both portrait and landscape to see how it adapts. You can do this on a phone by rotating the phone or on a computer by resizing the browser window.
