Books it has made

Real books, composed by the library, printed to PDF.

Nobody laid these pages out. Each is a story, a set of anchored figures, a grid, a type system, and a seed — passed to one function, which returned pages. And each is a different grid and face over the same machinery.

A page of STILLEVEN: a Dutch floral plate above two columns of essay text.

Stilleven

An essay on the Dutch flower piece, twenty plates, dark ground. The drop caps, the marginal captions, the widow control — all derived.

A page of THE CENTERING, set in a grotesque with a marginal caption column.

The Centering

A square page from THE MARGIN with a pull quote and rotated marginal text.
