The brief

Variable-font specimen. A made-up client, built to prove a real technique.

Read the build guide ↗

The approach

The signature is cursor position driving variable-font axes across the specimen. The whole page is composed around that one idea, so type, palette and pacing all defer to it.

Like every study in the collection, it ships with a /guide route documenting exactly how the technique works. It also passed the same quality floor as client work: responsive to 390px, keyboard focus visible, reduced motion respected, zero console errors.

Design intent: Prove that cursor position driving variable-font axes across the specimen can carry an entire page.
