On Movable Type

A sort is a small block of metal. Face up, locked into the forme, one against the next, with thin strips of lead between the lines to hold them apart.

The forme goes on the press, takes ink, and meets the paper. The pressure drives the face into the fibre, and you can feel the bite with a fingertip.

The ink never lands evenly. One letter comes up full and black, the next takes less and goes thin along one side of the stroke.

Type wears out. An old sort prints with a corner missing; a fresh one prints too dark, and the page is never quite level.

Nor is the compositor a ruler. Every piece sits a fraction off, and read as a paragraph the letters are alive and the lines lean.

Photocomposition tidied all of this away even spacing, even colour, clean edges. Cleaner, and colder.

This package writes those accidents back in: the fibre of the paper, the weight of the ink, the lean and the chipped corner.

フレームワークなし

import { mount, redact, pressTuning } from 'kappan'

// 調的是印刷的成因,不是濾鏡的參數。一個成因牽動好幾道濾鏡。
const dispose = mount({
  typeFamily: "'I.Ming', serif",
  filters: pressTuning({ ink: 1.4, pressure: 0.8, roughness: 1.6, absorbency: 1.4, wear: 1.2 }),
})

// 逐字歪斜要每個字自己一個 span。別直接把 redact 交給 forEach ——
// 它的第二個參數是 barUnit,會收到陣列索引。
document.querySelectorAll('.sg').forEach((el) => redact(el))

React

import { pressTuning } from 'kappan'
import { LetterpressStyles, LetterpressFilters, Redacted } from 'kappan/react'

// 兩個元件要吃同一份 options。只給其中一個的話,CSS 會指到不存在的濾鏡 id。
const options = {
  typeFamily: "'I.Ming', serif",
  filters: pressTuning({ absorbency: 1.6 }),
}

<div className="lp lp-paper">
  <LetterpressStyles {...options} />
  <LetterpressFilters {...options} />

  {/* 字號 class 同時決定字級與該用哪支濾鏡;豎排加 .lp-v */}
  <p className="sg lp-v lp-typed lp-sz-3"><Redacted text="常世通信 ███ 第一號" /></p>
</div>
