Type

Pairings across the family, a fluid scale, and the variable axes of Fraunces as living material.

In use across my work

Fraunces · variable

Stargaze

A fluid scale

One modular rhythm from caption to hero, sized with clamp so it breathes across viewports without breakpoints.

Modern moves

The techniques behind type that feels alive in 2026. Small decisions, large polish.

01

Variable fonts as motion

Animate weight, width or slant on scroll and hover. One file, an entire range of voices.

02

Fluid scale with clamp()

Viewport responsive sizing without breakpoint jumps. Hierarchy that breathes.

03

Optical sizing

Let display sizes gain contrast and small sizes thicken automatically, via the opsz axis.

04

Expressive display

Oversized headlines that break the grid. Whitespace as luxury, type as the hero image.

05

Mono for metadata

Dates, captions, tags and figures in mono. Signals data and adds editorial texture.

06

Balance and pretty wrap

text-wrap balance for headlines, pretty for body. Near zero effort, high editorial polish.

Aspirational faces

Commercial typefaces worth knowing, named here as reference. Not loaded, but on the radar for the right project.

Klim

The definitive neo grotesk of the era. Helvetica's memory, render perfect on screen.

Editorial New

GT Sectra
Grilli Type

A calligraphic serif blending broad nib warmth with sharp cuts. Science and nature gravitas.

Sibling chapter

Type workshop

For kinetic, data-driven type experiments — letters that breathe, weights that follow numbers, headlines that thin out when something disappears.
