Quarry Type Specimen
An interactive specimen site for an independent type foundry, built so visitors can test every axis of a variable font.
The project
From the first question to the shipped result
Every case study follows the same three steps: the problem in the client's words, what I did about it, and what changed after launch.
01
The challenge
The foundry sold its fonts through PDF specimens. Designers could not try the variable axes before buying, and support questions piled up.
02
The approach
I designed a specimen that behaves like a tool: live text, sliders for each axis and presets for common uses. The whole thing runs on plain CSS and a small script, so it stays fast.
03
The results
Specimen pages became the most visited part of the site and pre sale questions dropped (template figures).
