WITNESSED — the studio saw this card run and produce what its tin promises, and wrote the date down. What the marks mean →
What it is.
A parametric monoline type engine for people who draw type for a living. Draw a skeleton once — strokes on a 1000-unit em, the cap at 700 — and foundry.py cuts every weight from it as real TrueType: round joins and caps, the waist at cap ÷ φ or your own number, width by number, tabular figures, kerning for the pairs that sell, a specimen beside every font, and a self-test that rasterises every glyph in every weight and refuses to pass an empty one.
It cuts your skeleton; it never ingests a font file, never traces a face you don’t own, and puts no other foundry’s name in a name table. The Lund faces’ own skeletons — SELL, TRADE, LUXE, UNION GOTHIC — are not in the box. Needs fontTools; the raster proof needs Pillow.

ON EVERY DOOR · A CARD FOR YOUR AI, A FILE FOR YOUR COMPUTER
This card is an Agent Skill on the open standard: the same folder loads unmodified in Claude, ChatGPT and Codex, Copilot and VS Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Goose, OpenCode and the rest of the showcase. Its words are Markdown, so any chat with an instructions box holds them, any local model runs them offline, and any MCP client can load them — THE UNIVERSAL CUT: a pasteable system card, the rules-file family, an Ollama Modelfile, an MCP server, all cut from this card’s own SKILL.md by THE CARD FORGE. The universal cut joins this card’s box as its package is re-cut. And card.html — the card as one file for your computer: both faces, the tin, the words, every door; offline, in any browser. The machines aboard run wherever the host can run Python; the words run everywhere. The host marks →
Take it.
