letterpress-ts: "Reglet", a letterpress workshop site concept

A concept for a multi-page site of a fictional letterpress workshop in plain TypeScript with no framework: Vite multi-page with 8 HTML entries, components as typed functions returning DOM. A type composer turns text into sorts and an impression, a calculator prices a run, state is kept in the link. Do not trust the workshop or the prices: sums come from demo formulas.

What it is and why

A concept for a multi-page site of a fictional letterpress workshop in plain TypeScript with no framework: Vite multi-page with 8 HTML entries, components as typed functions returning DOM. A type composer turns text into sorts and an impression, a calculator prices a run, state is kept in the link. Do not trust the workshop or the prices: sums come from demo formulas.

Limitations

A concept: the pricing formulas are made up, an order builds a mailto letter you have to send yourself.

There is no English version.

What is inside

  • No framework: 8 Vite HTML entries, components as functions returning DOM
  • A type composer: typeface, ink, paper, size, spacing; state in the link with parameter validation
  • The price table on the home page is computed at build time with the same formulas as the calculator
  • User text enters the DOM through textContent, innerHTML is banned by the linter
