I'm wondering how I would go about creating a layout with responsive squares. Each square would have vertically and horizontally aligned content. The specific example is displayed below...

Now we can easily do this using the aspect-ratio ref property
.container {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(3, minmax(0, 1fr)); /* 3 columns */
grid-gap: 10px;
}
.container>* {
aspect-ratio: 1 / 1; /* a square ratio */
border: 1px solid;
/* center content */
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
text-align: center;
}
img {
max-width: 100%;
display: block;
}
<div class="container">
<div> some content here </div>
<div><img src="https://picsum.photos/id/25/400/400"></div>
<div>
<h1>a title</h1>
</div>
<div>more and more content <br>here</div>
<div>
<h2>another title</h2>
</div>
<div><img src="https://picsum.photos/id/104/400/400"></div>
</div>
Also like below where we can have a variable number of columns
.container {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(250px, 1fr));
grid-gap: 10px;
}
.container>* {
aspect-ratio: 1 / 1; /* a square ratio */
border: 1px solid;
/* center content */
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
text-align: center;
}
img {
max-width: 100%;
display: block;
}
<div class="container">
<div> some content here </div>
<div><img src="https://picsum.photos/id/25/400/400"></div>
<div>
<h1>a title</h1>
</div>
<div>more and more content <br>here</div>
<div>
<h2>another title</h2>
</div>
<div><img src="https://picsum.photos/id/104/400/400"></div>
<div>more and more content <br>here</div>
<div>
<h2>another title</h2>
</div>
<div><img src="https://picsum.photos/id/104/400/400"></div>
</div>
