01 // Optical Calibration

Typography is geometry, not guesswork.

Standard CSS bounding boxes mask internal font metrics. Type Laboratory extracts raw OpenType tables—locking baselines and measuring exact x-height differentials to eliminate visual vibration.

02 // Deterministic Vector Distance

Pairing algorithms rooted in typographic physics.

Every font is indexed into a normalized 4-dimensional vector space: [x-Height, Ink Density, Stroke Contrast, Width Ratio].

Vector queries calculate cosine distance to verify structural harmony before rendering.
