Experimental CSS for sidenotes — annotations in the white space that reveal on hover, exploring digital margins as meaning layers

Experimental CSS that reveals the historical evolution of typefaces through interaction. Every font choice carries the weight of centuries.

Letters that age gracefully as you read, developing the digital equivalent of patina. **Fresh Loading** FRESH This text starts crisp and modern when the page first loads.
