Every figure here is derived.

Every value below is read at build time from the file that defines it. Change a token, rebuild, and the figure moves with it.

This is not a debrief: there is no problem, no approach and no result. The Hive index lists the debriefs and does not list this page; the homepage links it.

The site measures itself.

lattice

cell, maximum: 150.000 px; the one chosen number in the geometry
column advance: 0.750 × cell; three quarters of a flat-top hexagon
row height: 0.866025 × cell; sqrt(3)/2
period: 225.000 px; 2 advances at the maximum cell
columns: 2 × floor(100cqw / 225.000 px) + 2; even at every width, so the phase closes at both edges

type

text ramp: 1.2; 6/5, steps −2 to 2, raised in exact rational arithmetic
display ramp: 1.3333; 4/3, steps 3 to 7, anchored on step 2
steps: 10; −2 to 7, anchored on 1rem
rhythm: 8 steps; one lattice row, divided by 1.44 per step

layout

page column: 12 advances; capped there; the gutters take what is left
measure: 5 advances; capped at the page column
gutter, minimum: 0.25 advances; the floor under the edge margin

contrast

ink on ground: 12.96:1; AAA body · either composition
accent as text, dark ground: 6.42:1; AA body, AAA large
accent as text, light ground: 5.99:1; AA body, AAA large
accent as a mark, light ground: 2.02:1; below every threshold · a fill, never text
data at body size: 4.61:1; AA body, AAA large · the worse of the two grounds
data as a mark: 3.38:1; AA large · hairlines and large figures only

bytes

document: 48,894 B; HTML with the stylesheet inlined
fonts, preloaded: 151,284 B; 4 faces, fetched whether or not a glyph needs one
icons and manifest: 26,397 B; 5 files in the head, and a browser takes the subset it wants
images: 10,658 B; 2 files; one is fetched per element, by composition
first load, minimum: 200,178 B; the document and every preloaded face, on any cold load
first load, maximum: 237,233 B; every same-origin file this document names, before HTTP compression
