Est. from a desk drawer

The calculations designers keep doing by hand.

Color conversion, proportional scaling, grids, picas, copyfitting and the characters everyone gets wrong. Free, instant, and none of it leaves your browser.

Six tools that all work in OKLCH under the hood. That matters more than it sounds: OKLCH is perceptually uniform, so a midpoint looks like a midpoint and a hue rotation keeps every color at the same visual weight. Tools built on HSL and raw hex cannot do either, which is why their gradients go muddy and their palettes have one color that jumps out.

All color

The calculations that used to live on a wheel in a desk drawer, or on a laminated card pinned above the desk. Proportional scaling, picas to millimeters, how much space a given amount of copy will take, and where the columns fall on the page. None of them are difficult; all of them are tedious, and all of them are easy to get subtly wrong at eleven at night.

All layout & measure

Print & Production

Print Production Tools

The calculations that sit between a finished design and a printed object. None of them are difficult and all of them are unforgiving: a spine two millimeters out is a reprint, a page count that does not fill its signatures is paper you paid for and threw away, and an image placed at half the resolution its screen needs looks soft in a way no amount of sharpening recovers.

All print & production

Why bother

Built the way the work is actually made.

Perceptual color throughout

Every blend, palette and gradient is computed in OKLCH. That is why the middle of a gradient here does not turn to mud, and why a harmony set does not have one color that glares.

Honest about its limits

CMYK without a profile is an approximation and says so. A copyfit is an estimate and says so. A tool that hides its assumptions is harder to trust, not easier.
