Curious Findings
summary
Slides show variable fonts used in HTML and CSS to combine optical sizes, widths and weights in a single file (Warbler, Gimlet Sands) and a daily stylesheet experiment that drives iterative changes. Research yields 50 short essays that remake a typography book. Case studies include building a polymer plate and custom 50×70 cm laser process that makes small‑run books affordable, and a product decision to add a learning tab to an ecommerce app—concrete builds that prove the ideas work.
