Craft Editorial

Vellum

Vellum is built for herbariums and botanical archives, and it deliberately breaks from the catalogue's usual dark themes with a light, high-key paper palette. Body and headline type run in the editorial serif Spectral rather than a grotesque display face, giving it a research-journal voice instead of a tech-startup one. A persistent sticky-pane split screen keeps each specimen paired with its field notes as you scroll, so image and annotation never separate.

Highlights

  • Light, high-key paper palette — deliberately not another dark theme
  • Editorial serif voice (Spectral) instead of a grotesque display face
  • Persistent sticky-pane split screen pairs a specimen image with its notes
  • Specimen content type with genus/species, collection date & habitat

Overview

Vellum breaks the studio’s recurring skeleton on purpose: a light, high-key paper palette instead of another dark theme, an editorial serif voice (Spectral) rather than a grotesque display face for the hero, and a persistent sticky-pane split screen — one pane holds a specimen image steady while the facing pane scrolls through its taxonomic notes, the way an actual herbarium sheet pairs a pressed specimen with its label.

A Specimen content type carries genus/species, collection date and habitat fields, giving botanical archives real structured taxonomy instead of a generic ‘gallery’ post type.

Release

v1.0.0 Vellum is built for herbariums and botanical archives, and it deliberately breaks from the catalogue's usual dark themes with a light, high-key paper palette. Body and headline type run in the editorial serif Spectral rather than a grotesque display face, giving it a research-journal voice instead of a tech-startup one. A persistent sticky-pane split screen keeps each specimen paired with its field notes as you scroll, so image and annotation never separate.

The complete, dated version history ships in the theme’s CHANGELOG file. Every purchase includes lifetime access to future updates.

A one-of-a-kind jewelry maison storefront: a real Three.js/WebGL2 gem viewer lets shoppers drag-orbit each piece, swap between 18K gold, rose gold, platinum and blackened metal in real time, and read live facet-angle, refractive-index, critical-angle and fire-frequency numbers off an on-canvas HUD as the stone turns. A browsing-history-driven style curator recommends pieces from the visitor's own session, computed entirely client-side with no dependency on any external AI service. Runs as a compiled React/Vite storefront embedded inside a classic WordPress theme, with a custom "Luxury Products" catalogue (no WooCommerce dependency).

Two real calculations carry the site: a WebGL2 hexagon-packing comb field, and a waggle-dance bearing calculator built on the actual relationship a forager's dance encodes. The comb field runs genuine flat-top axial and pixel conversion with cube-coordinate rounding and an exact hexagon SDF, while the waggle calculator combines a NOAA simplified solar-position formula with von Frisch's real sun-relative bearing relationship. Colonies, honey, sites, services, testimonials, and markets run as custom post types behind a working AJAX inquiry endpoint, for apiaries and small honey producers.
