Specimen
Eight papers, four faces.
The reader chooses the stock and the typeface; the catalogue numbers, rules, and covers do not move. This page shows every combination the settings panel offers.
Papers
Each paper carries its own pair of text colours. Contrast is measured, not assumed: body text stays above 13:1 and secondary text above 5.5:1 in all eight.

Typefaces
The reading column follows the reader. Metadata, catalogue numbers, and the wordmark stay monospaced, so the archive keeps its voice whatever is chosen.

Scale
Four steps, S to XL. Only text tokens scale; the grid, rules, and cover geometry stay fixed, so a larger setting never reflows the layout.
