Visual Interview #005 · Iteration III of VII · Typography

The Letters.

Round 3 of 7 — display font, body font, reading rhythm.

You picked typography as a top next-focus chip — and on Q5 of VI #004 you told me the chrome-roman + script tiles were about the font for where it's explaining the card. So this round locks the reading type for IvyGarden: what carries headings, what carries body, what carries the card-reading explainer. Thirteen questions, all visual — drag, slide, rotate, pick. Every question has a little opinion box. Auto-saves as you go. Tap Email to Leiph when you're done — your answers go straight into the mail body.

What I heard from VI #004, so you can correct me: chrome-first card back mood (vine #2). 20px corners, 2:3.4 aspect. Every framed surface gets a frame — no-frame is out. Suit tints for UI surround only (your decks stay authoritative). Ambient density 0.67 — glow ombre with galaxy energy. Flip = shimmering (pyramid-crystal chime). Select = lift-glow, sustained. Shuffle = cosmic swirl, witchy-hands overlay deferred. Fan is the hero deck presentation. Reversals = flipped + tint + frame-invert, mandatory in both Gardens. If any of that is wrong, say so in any opinion box below.

Question 1 · Display Face

Which display face carries "IvyGarden"? Drag to rank — #1 is the one you'd tattoo on the cover.

Opinion — is there a specific tattoo / book-cover / logo letter you keep coming back to?

Question 2 · Body Face (reading)

Which face carries the reading paragraphs? Drag to rank. All four are dyslexia-kind; the gaps are in feel.

Opinion — reading a long card explanation on your phone, which feels least like work?

Question 3 · Card-Reading Explainer

The card-reading explainer is its own voice. Tap every face that belongs there (multi-pick).

Q5 of VI #004 picked chrome-roman + script here. This confirms or expands.

Opinion — is the card name a different face from the card's meaning paragraph?

Question 4 · Body Size

Slide until the paragraph reads comfortable on your phone. Preview updates live.

The Star calls you forward, gently, with no demand. Stars pin the sky; vines pin the soil. Between them, you breathe. This is the reading voice — what carries meaning when a card is drawn and turns face up.

Opinion — does the size shift between card meaning vs. quick UI labels?

Question 5 · Line Height

Slide until the lines have the right air between them — too tight crowds, too loose drifts.

1.65

← TightAiry →

Opinion — when does airy become too airy?

Question 6 · Letter Spacing

Slide to set the breath between letters. Tight is tense; wide is ceremonial.

The Star calls you forward, gently, with no demand. Stars pin the sky; vines pin the soil. Between them, you breathe.

Opinion — do uppercase chrome labels need a different spacing than body?

Question 7 · Reading Width

How wide should a line of reading be before it wraps? Slide — the paragraph reflows live.

← NarrowWide →

Opinion — on phone, does the paragraph want to hug the screen edges or keep a margin?

Question 8 · Heading Scale

How much should a heading tower over body text? Twist the dial from subtle (gentle) to dramatic (monumental).

Opinion — are italics a feeling or a rule?

Question 11 · Numeral Style

How do the numbers read on the explainer (not on the card)? Pick the one that belongs (single-pick).

Opinion — are Roman numerals important to the feeling, or just visual flavor?

Question 12 · Reading Controls Visibility

The dyslexia-controls pill (top-right star) lives on every screen. Where should it live? Tap one.

Opinion — does the pill ever disappear, or is it always visible?

Question 13 · Opening Flourish

Long card-reading explainers can open with a flourish. Pick the one that reads most you (single-pick).

Opinion — is the flourish the same every reading, or does it shift with the card?
