Nothing Is Happening
Attention Kept
Colophon
Set in Gentium, 10 on 15 point, from SIL Global. The title and page numbers are Basteleur, by Keussel. The running heads and my name are Sligoil Micro, by Ariel Martín Pérez for Velvetyne. All three typefaces are open source (SIL OFL Licensed). This means they are free to use, change and share.
While I wrote the poems, I made this book with the help of Claude Code. We wrote a small tool for it, called Bjook. The poems are plain text files, a stylesheet sets the page, and one command builds the PDF and arranges the pages. It’s part of a large library of design system rules, palettes, etc. to try and create a “Design Intelligence” to allow me to automate things where it makes sense. The tool is at github.com/bjornmeansbear/color-system-and-guidelines.
