about

one person made this

formerly a board‑certified plastic surgeon, which is where I learned what comparison does to a face.

Now this: two instruments for iPhone. No investors, no advertisers, no one served before you. That is not a virtue — it is an arrangement, and it is why every promise on this site can be kept.

Both apps are finished things, not platforms waiting to grow. Neither has a growth trick in it, because a growth trick is something a tool does to the person holding it.

01 the studio

light is the material

the wordmark on the door is not a picture of glass. it is glass, drawn live.

The letters are described as a shape with a measured edge, then lit by a small program that bends whatever sits behind them — the way real glass would. Move the cursor and the light moves with it, because the pointer is the light source. The menu obeys the same rule when its words glint under your hand.

The same engine draws the line in dissector’s viewfinder and in love&truth’s camera. One outline, one system, and no pixels anywhere it matters.

One signed distance field per mark, measured from the outline.
Eight material channels — bevel, thickness, amplitude, gloss, grain, dispersion, light angle, light height.
Four delivery tiers, from a baked displacement map to a live three‑wavelength lens.

02 the colophon

three faces, one engine

every typeface is served from here — nothing loaded from another company, nothing that can be taken down.

plex serif: The reading voice. Everything on this site that is prose is set in it.

the engine: Liquidglass, v0.9.5, no dependencies. It bakes the field, lights it, and hands the browser a displacement map.
