CSS transform-scale() - How to scale the text without scaling container and keep a proper alignment

I am attempting to transform some font in order to look like another one in terms of size. The problem, when I do, is that the container's size is also adjusted, and I lose my alignments. I've tried different types of display (block, inline) and lastly, thinking it would work, flex but apparently not. Is it possible with CSS?

.block3 {
    display: flex;
    background-color: #a8a9ad;
    padding: 50px 30px;
    overflow: none;
    justify-content: space-evenly;

}

.address {
  display: flex;
  text-align: left;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: left;
}

.address span {
  text-align: left;
}

.address p {
  margin: 5px;
  padding-left: 5px;
}

.address h2 {
  /* display: inline-flex; */
  font-size-adjust: 0.6;
  transform: scale(0.8, 1);
  text-align: left;
}

.terms-of-service {
  text-align: left;
}
<div class="block3">
  <div class="address col-content">
    <span><h2>CORPORATE CLEANING SERVICES LTD.</h2></span>
    <p>#106 – 20285 Stewart Crescent,</p>
    <p>Maple Ridge, BC, V2X 8G1</p><br>
    <p>Toll Free: 1-866-543-4666</p>
    <p>Telephone: 604-465-4699</p>
    <p>Fax: 604-465-4674</p>
  </div>
  <div class="terms-of-service col-content">

So here, I am trying to keep my <h2> left aligned, but I can't seem to make it work...

any ideas? thank you

If you want to left align your scale text you need to set 'transform-origin: left'

.address h2 {
  font-size-adjust: 0.6;
  transform: scale(0.8, 1);
  text-align: left;
  transform-origin: left; //add this line
}

FYI: If you want scale x and y same so you can use transform: scale(0.8) instead of this 'transform: scale(0.8, 1)'.

you can refer this link for more information https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/transform-origin

Example in snippet:

.block3 {
    display: flex;
    background-color: #a8a9ad;
    padding: 50px 30px;
    overflow: none;
    justify-content: space-evenly;

}

.address {
  display: flex;
  text-align: left;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: left;
}

.address span {
  text-align: left;
}

.address p {
  margin: 5px;
  padding-left: 5px;
}

.address h2 {
  font-size-adjust: 0.6;
  transform: scale(0.8, 1);
  text-align: left;
  transform-origin: left; //add this line
}

.terms-of-service {
  text-align: left;
}
<div class="block3">
  <div class="address col-content">
    <span><h2>CORPORATE CLEANING SERVICES LTD.</h2></span>
