DuctusTypography WordPress Theme
Independent variable type foundry theme built around a working tool rather than a passive showcase. The hero is a live specimen tester with real weight and width sliders, so visitors drag to see an actual variable font interpolate across its design space in the browser. The palette is stark print-specimen white, black and indigo, closer to a type foundry's own type sheets than a typical marketing site. It's built for foundries that want the product itself to be the demo.

- Stark print-specimen white/black/indigo palette
- Per-typeface specimen pages with the same interactive axis controls
Overview
Ductus breaks from every prior skeleton in this catalogue: the hero isn’t a passive canvas to scroll past, it’s a working tool — a live variable-font specimen tester with real sliders that actually manipulate a real typeface’s weight/width/optical-size axes in the browser, the way a type foundry’s own site should let visitors audition a typeface before buying it.
The palette is a stark print-specimen white/black/electric-indigo system, and each typeface gets its own specimen page with the same interactive axis controls — a foundry selling variable fonts needs visitors to feel the variability, not just read about it.
