# Bakery

> A six-page bakery website template for bakeries, patisseries, cake shops, cafés and stationery studios. Every page opens on one huge serif line, and every page change folds the page in thirds like dough and unfolds the next page out of it.

## Overview

A bakery sells on two things: what is on the counter this morning and the care that went into it. This six-page template opens on a floured bench with "Three turns. Twenty-seven layers." set across it in a tall serif, a cut croissant under the line and a paper ticket of today's bake, sold-out lines struck through, lying on the bench beside it. Every inner page follows the same rule: one enormous line, then the working figures in small tabular type. Tourage Bakehouse, a fictional viennoiserie and sourdough bakery on Henderson Street in Leith, Edinburgh, is the worked example.

The signature is the Letter Fold. Every link folds the current page in thirds like a sheet of dough, top flap down and bottom flap up, with butter layers showing along the folded edges. The folded band waits on a floured worktop while the next page loads, then the next page unfolds from it, last flap first, in well under a second. Back runs it mirrored.

The pages carry a 72-hour process ruler you drag from mixing to the oven, a menu you filter by baking day and allergen, a Lamination Bench where you fold a block of dough yourself and watch the butter layers go from 1 to 27, a Saturday class page with place dots and a booking form, and a next-morning collection order that works out the collection day from a 16:00 cut-off. Repaint seven colour tokens, swap the photographs and the copy, and the same pages suit a patisserie, cake shop, café, chocolatier, fresh pasta bar or letterpress studio.

## Features

- Six standalone HTML pages: home, bake menu, kitchen process, sourdough, classes and visit and order
- Letter Fold page transition on every internal link: the page folds in thirds like dough and the next page unfolds from the folded band
- Back and Forward run the fold mirrored, with scroll positions restored and the new heading focused and announced
- Full-bleed hero with the display line on a floured bench above a cut croissant, and a today's-bake ticket with sold-out strikes
- Counter row on the home page: four photographed bakes with baking days and prices, each linking to its menu row
- 72-hour process ruler: drag the marker or choose a stage to change the photograph, hour, temperature and duration
- Menu rows set like a type specimen, filtered by baking day and struck by allergen, with an empty state naming the next baking day
- Photograph that opens beside each menu row on hover or focus, and inline thumbnails on touch screens
- Lamination Bench: drag the top and bottom thirds of a dough block to fold it, turn it a quarter, and watch the layer count and cross-section go from 1 to 27
- Loaf Bench on its own sourdough page: a 3D bowl of dough you stretch and fold through four sets, a score you draw yourself on the proofed loaf, and a bake that opens it along your line
- Saturday class page with an hour-by-hour timetable, numbered take-home callouts, eight place dots per date and a booking form
- Next-morning collection order with day choice from a 16:00 cut-off, items greyed out on days they are not baked, and a home-page docket that carries its quantities across
- Live open or closed status line read in the bakery's own time zone
- Real street map on OpenFreeMap tiles with the walk from the tram stop, loaded only when it nears the screen
- Phone menu sheet that unfolds in three panels
- Self-hosted Gloock and Hanken Grotesk fonts and 38 bundled WebP images
- Every page works as a plain multi-page site without JavaScript, and reduced motion swaps pages instantly

## Use Cases

- Bakeries and viennoiserie shops with a daily bake and pre-orders
- Patisseries and cake shops taking next-day collection orders
- Cafés and delis with a printed menu and a wholesale arm
- Cookery schools and makers running weekend classes
- Chocolatiers, fresh pasta bars and letterpress or stationery studios

## Questions about this template

### Which businesses can use this bakery template besides a bakery?

It is built as a bakery and patisserie website template, and the same six pages suit a cake shop, café with a printed menu, chocolatier, fresh pasta bar or a letterpress and wedding stationery studio. The page fold still reads for a sheet of pasta or a sheet of card. Replace Tourage's menu, photographs, class and opening hours with your own.

### Will the collection order, class booking and wholesale forms take real orders?

No. All three are unwired static front ends. The order form collects the collection morning, quantities, a name and a phone number; the class form collects a date, places, name, email and dietary needs; the wholesale form collects a business, email, delivery day and a note. Nothing is sent or saved. Connect Formspree, Netlify Forms, your booking system or your CRM before taking real orders.

### How do I change the menu items, prices and baking days?

Each menu row on the bake page is an article with its baking days and allergens written as data attributes, plus its name, note, figure and price as plain text. Edit those and the day filter, allergen strikes and empty states follow. The order form on the visit page uses the same attributes, so items you do not bake on a morning grey out automatically.

### Can I set my own opening hours, order cut-off and time zone?

Yes. One block near the top of the script holds the open days, opening and closing times, the order cut-off and the time zone. The open or closed status line, the home page's "ordering now for" line and the collection mornings on the order form all read from it. Update the hours table in the footer to match.

### Can I replace the folding page transition with a simple fade?

Yes. The README shows how to swap the fold for a plain crossfade by replacing the transition hooks with a short opacity tween, or how to remove the router script so pages load normally. The rest of the site keeps working either way, including the menu filter, the ruler and the Lamination Bench.

### Are the bakery, the people and the photographs real?

No. Tourage Bakehouse, its prices, class dates and figures are a fictional worked example on a real Leith street. Every photograph is an AI-generated illustration of a fictional bakery, including the people in the class and kitchen pictures, so replace them with your own photographs before publishing.

## Vibe-Code Ready Setup

This template includes `START-HERE-AI.md`, a product-specific copy-paste setup prompt for Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini, and other coding assistants that can edit files. It tells the assistant to rebrand the template in place for your business, keep the design and animation, replace the fictional example across every page, and report which photographs to replace, which details it invented, and what it tested.

## How It Works

### One display line per page

Every page opens on a single large serif line, from "Three turns. Twenty-seven layers." on the home page to "Open Wednesday to Sunday, 07:30 until sold out." on the visit page, with the working figures beside it in small tabular type. On first load the lines rise once; after a page change they arrive already set, because the transition is the entrance.

### The Letter Fold between pages

Internal links fetch the next page while the current one folds: the top third swings down, the bottom third swings up, and butter-layered edges show at each fold. The folded band waits on a floured worktop until the next page is ready, then the new page unfolds from it, the flap folded last opening first. Back folds the bottom first. The whole change takes under a second. Without JavaScript, opened from the file system or with reduced motion, links load pages normally or swap them instantly.

### Handle the dough

The home page ruler runs from hour 0 to hour 72; dragging the marker or pressing a stage word changes the photograph and the hour, temperature and time beside it. On the kitchen page the Lamination Bench is a block of dough you fold by dragging its top and bottom edges, then turn a quarter with its corner; the layer count and the cross-section beside it show the butter layers multiplying. Arrow keys, R and Enter do the same from the keyboard. The sourdough page has the Loaf Bench: a three.js bowl of dough you stretch and fold through four sets, then a loaf you score by drawing on it and bake to see it open along your line.

### Menu, classes and orders

Menu rows carry their baking days and allergens as data, so the day buttons collapse rows that are not baked that day and the allergen buttons strike rows that contain one. Class dates show eight place dots each and fill the booking form when chosen. The collection order works out which mornings can be chosen from the cut-off and closed days and greys out items not baked on the chosen morning. The forms are a front end only: nothing is sent.

### Making it yours

Colours are seven tokens at the top of the stylesheet, with measured contrast notes. Opening hours, the cut-off time and the time zone sit in one block in the script. Photographs keep their file names and proportions, so replacing them is a matter of swapping files and rewriting the alt text and captions.

## Documentation

How this template works and how it goes into a page. The reference you use once you own the files (worked examples, events, the programmatic API, the class list) ships with the download.

### Quick Start

Upload the folder to any static host and open `index.html`. Keep the six HTML files beside `assets/` so relative links keep working. There is no build step, framework or package to install.

Serve the files over HTTP or HTTPS to see the page transition. While editing, use any local static server (for example `python3 -m http.server` in the folder) and open `http://localhost:8000/index.html`. Opening a file straight from disk works too, but links then load pages normally without the fold.

GSAP and ScrollTrigger load from a CDN; MapLibre loads from a CDN on the visit page only when the map nears the screen, and three.js loads from a CDN on the sourdough page only when the Loaf Bench nears the screen. Images, fonts, styles and scripts are bundled locally.

### Using It With Your Own Design

1. **Identity.** Replace "Tourage", "Bakehouse, Leith", the address, the hours table and the fictional-bakery line in the header and footer of each page. They are repeated in all six files so each page stands alone.
2. **Photographs.** Swap the files in `assets/img/` keeping their names and proportions, then rewrite the alt text and captions to describe what your photographs show (see Images).
3. **Menu and prices.** Edit the rows on `bake.html` and the order lines on `visit.html` and `index.html` (see Menu filter and Orders).
4. **Hours and cut-off.** Edit the `SHOP` block near the top of `assets/script.js` (open days, opening and closing times, the order cut-off and the time zone).
5. **Colour and type.** Edit the seven colour tokens at the top of `assets/style.css` (see Palette). To change typefaces, replace the two `@font-face` rules at the top of the stylesheet, the two font preloads in each page's `<head>` and the `--font-display` / `--font-body` tokens.
6. **Forms.** Connect the order, class booking and wholesale forms to your own service before taking real orders (see Forms).

Everything visual lives in `assets/style.css`; everything interactive lives in `assets/script.js`, organised as one function per feature that does nothing when its markup is missing. `assets/page-router.js` is the small page router under the transition (links, fetching, history, scroll and focus); you should not need to edit it. Delete a section from any page and the rest keeps working.

### Pages

| File | Content |
| --- | --- |
| `index.html` | Hero: the display line on a floured bench above a cut croissant, with a today's-bake ticket; the 72-hour ruler on a burnt-sugar band; four things from the counter with prices; the Saturday class teaser; an order docket for tomorrow; footer with hours and the page list |
| `bake.html` | "Baked Wednesday to Sunday." with day and allergen filters; viennoiserie, bread and cake as specimen rows; an order prompt |
| `kitchen.html` | "Seventy-two hours, start to counter." with a proportional process bar; mix, retard, the Lamination Bench, proof and bake; a link on to sourdough |
| `sourdough.html` | "Flour, water, salt and twenty-six hours." with a proportional process bar; the starter; the Loaf Bench (fold, score and bake a loaf yourself, in 3D); the cold proof; the bake; a link on to classes |
| `classes.html` | "Eight places. Five hours. Twenty-seven layers you made." with the class photograph; the morning hour by hour; what you take home; upcoming dates with a booking form; questions |
| `visit.html` | "Open Wednesday to Sunday, 07:30 until sold out." with a live status line and the counter photograph; the collection order; the map; wholesale enquiries |

The header sits inside each page's `data-page` wrapper, so it folds with the page. On phones and narrow tablets the four links move into a **Menu** sheet that unfolds in three panels, a third of the screen each, with butter layers along the fold lines: the first pages, the rest of the pages, then the opening time and order cut-off with the order button. Edit those two times in the `menu-docket` list on every page. Without JavaScript the Menu button is hidden and the footer page list reaches every page.

### The Letter Fold (page transition)

Every same-origin link to a sibling `.html` page runs the fold while the next page is fetched:

1. **Leave (about 0.45s).** The top third of the page swings down over the middle and the bottom third swings up over it, each flap sagging slightly as it passes upright, with a band of butter layers along each folded edge. What is left is a band of dough across a floured worktop.
2. **Hold.** The folded band waits for as long as the next page and its main photograph need (at least 0.05s; links prefetch on hover, focus and touch, so this is usually nothing). Nothing on screen names the destination.
3. **Enter (about 0.35s).** The new page unfolds from the band: the flap folded last opens first, as a letter does.

Back runs it mirrored: the bottom third folds first. Scroll positions are restored, and the arriving page's heading receives focus and is announced to screen readers. A second link chosen mid-fold retargets the same fold; one chosen during the unfold hurries it.

How it is built, for editing:

- The rig is one fixed layer added to the end of the page by `assets/script.js`: opaque worktop plates for the three bands, two front faces that hold a copy of the page's top and bottom thirds, two dough faces for the flap backs and two butter-edge strips. Each face carries its own perspective and backface culling; nothing uses `preserve-3d`, blur or filters, so it stays smooth on large screens.
- The copy of the page is made when the visitor hovers, focuses or presses a link, never in the click itself; Back makes it in the first frame of the fold.
- The transition is the `leave`, `hold`, `enter` and `reset` functions passed to `PageRouter.create` at the end of `assets/script.js`. Two numbers set the speed: `PACE` (0.6; raise it to 1 for a slower, showier fold) scales every duration, and `UNFOLD` (0.9) scales the arrival on top of that. The individual timings live in `foldFlap`, `playFold`, `playUnfold` and `unfoldFlap`. Phones run every duration at 85%.
- The worktop, dough and butter-edge artwork is `worktop.webp`, `dough-back.webp` and `butter-edge.webp` (with smaller phone versions). Swap them for a sheet of pasta, card or cloth to suit another business.
- Pages are fetched, not reloaded, so scripts inside a fetched page do not run. Put new behaviour in `assets/script.js` as another init function called from `initPage`. Every page loads `assets/page-router.js` before `assets/script.js`; keep that order on a new page. Any sibling HTML file with a `data-page` wrapper joins the transition.
- Add `data-native-navigation` to a link or container to opt out. Downloads, new-tab clicks, external links and same-page anchors already behave normally.

#### Swapping the fold for a plain crossfade

To keep soft navigation but replace the fold with a short fade, replace the `leave`, `hold`, `enter` and `reset` entries in the `PageRouter.create({ ... })` call with:

_In your download: the working code for this step, in `script.js`._

and remove the `bench` element and its listeners above it. For ordinary page loads with a browser crossfade instead, delete the `assets/page-router.js` script tag from every page and add `@view-transition { navigation: auto; }` to the stylesheet: the script then runs each page on its own.

### Features by page

**Hour ruler (home).** Each stage is an `article` with `data-stage`, `data-hour` (where it starts on the 0 to 72 ruler) and `data-temp`. The ruler, stage words and leader lines are generated from them, so add, remove or retime stages in the markup. Drag the marker, press a stage word, or use the arrow keys on the marker (a slider with a spoken value). Without JavaScript the stages show as a list with their photographs.

**Order docket (home).** Steppers on the three most-ordered items; the "Finish the order" link carries the quantities to the visit page (`visit.html?croissant=2&loaf=1#order`), where the order form reads them. The "Ordering now for" line is computed from the cut-off.

**Menu filter (bake).** Each row carries `data-days="wed thu fri sat sun"` and `data-allergens="gluten dairy egg"`. Day buttons collapse rows not baked that day, allergen buttons strike rows that contain one, and an empty list names the next day it is baked. Rows with `data-photo` open that photograph beside the row on hover or keyboard focus; on touch screens a small inline photograph shows instead.

**Lamination Bench (kitchen).** Drag the top edge of the dough down and the bottom edge up to fold it in thirds (or press the edge buttons), then drag the corner to give it a quarter turn and roll it out. Three turns take the layers from 1 to 27; the cross-section beside it redraws on every fold. Keyboard: focus the bench, then Arrow Down folds the top, Arrow Up the bottom, R turns and Enter starts again. Reduced motion jumps each step to its end state. Without JavaScript a four-step text sequence (1, 3, 9, 27) shows instead.

**Loaf Bench (sourdough).** Three stages on one card.

- *Fold* is a small three.js scene: a glazed stoneware bowl on the bench with a round of dough in it, lit from the window side and seen over the baker's shoulder. Drag any side of the dough towards the middle (or press one of the four round arrow buttons). That side stretches up into a sheet held by its far edge: thick and round at the hinge, thinner and narrower towards your fingers and pinched where it is held, bowed under its own weight with its side edges curling in, while the rest of the mass is dragged after it. Carry it past the top and it goes over with the held edge leading, the sheet draping down behind it onto whatever is beneath: it lands with a squash and a wobble, then the stack slumps to the height the dough can hold, its corners pillow and the step where the layer ends softens into a rolled lip. Let go early and it springs back. Folds stay folded: each one leaves a layer with a rolled edge on its side and a seam where its end lies, and four make a squarer, taller parcel. At the end of a set the parcel is lifted, turned seam side down and relaxes over the half-hour rest into a smoother, taller round. Across four sets the dough goes from slack, flat and lumpy (stretches far, sags, wobbles slowly) to strong, tall and smooth (stretches less, springs back quicker), and the skin goes from wet and glossy to satin while the strength bar fills.
- *Score*: after four sets the camera rises over the bowl and the proofed loaf appears. Draw up to six cuts on it with the mouse or a finger, or press "One curve" or "A cross".
- *Bake*: "Bake it" crossfades to the baked loaf and opens every cut along the line that was drawn, wider on one side where the ear lifts.

Keyboard: focus the bowl and use the arrow keys to fold, Enter to start again; the arrow buttons, the cut buttons and "Bake it" are ordinary buttons. On touch screens a sideways drag folds and an up or down drag scrolls the page, so use the arrow buttons for the far and near sides.

What GSAP and three.js each do: GSAP plays the fold from a button or key, the rest between sets, the camera move and the bake; three.js draws the scene. The dough is one closed mesh moved on the CPU (so shadows need nothing special). A fold bends every point beyond a hinge line round a spine that stands up and then rolls over, offsetting each point by its depth so the underside comes up on top, and finally drapes it on a height map of the dough beneath, so layers stack instead of passing through each other. After every fold, and after the turn, the dough is re-read from above into a top and an underside height map (with the skin coordinates of whatever is uppermost) and rebuilt as a clean shell, so the next fold always starts from a tidy surface however many came before. The landing wobble and the drag follow are time based, so they run at the same speed at 60 Hz and 120 Hz. The scene draws only while something moves (a drag, a fold, a wobble, a rest) and stops when the bench is idle or off screen. three.js (r180, about 180 KB gzipped) is fetched from jsDelivr the first time the bench comes near the screen; no other page loads it. If WebGL is missing or the download fails, the fold stage becomes a photograph of the bowl whose dough tightens with each press, and scoring and baking work as usual. With reduced motion every fold, rest and camera move jumps to its end.

The dough's material is three's physical material with a few additions in `LOAF_DOUGH_*` (the GLSL strings above `makeDoughScene`): the skin's colour is the average of the two dough photographs (mixed by strength), so a laid layer is the same dough as the mass beneath it, with only fine, low-contrast detail from the photographs on top and their brightness read as a bump map; light wraps a little past the shadow line in a warm tint, as it does through real dough, and a thin stretched side glows when lit from behind; where the skin is pulled far out of its photograph that detail fades out, so stretched dough looks smooth and taut rather than streaked; and creases, seams and the edge where the dough meets the bowl are darkened from a live height map. Clear coat and sheen move from wet to satin as strength rises (`setStrength`). The bowl (`LOAF_BOWL_COLOR`) is cream glaze inside, oatmeal glaze outside dipped to a wavering line, raw clay at the lip and foot, with iron speckle; the room it reflects is built in code in `makeDoughScene` (a warm wall and one bright window), so no environment image is downloaded.

To change it: `LOAF_SETS`, `LOAF_RADIUS` (the loaf's radius in the score photograph, out of a 1000-unit box) and `LOAF_MAX_CUTS` sit above `makeDoughScene` in `assets/script.js`. How the dough behaves is `LOAF_FOLD`, where every entry is a pair for slack and for strong dough: `hinge` (where a side bends, as a share of its reach), `stretch` (how long a side gets at the top of the pull), `lay` (how long it stays once laid), `sag` and `droop` (how much the pulled side bows under its own weight, in radians, and how far its corners hang), `follow` (how closely the dough chases a drag), `bounce`, `wobble` and `settle` (the landing squash, its wobbles per second and how fast they die), and `stand` (the tallest stack the dough holds before it slumps). `LOAF_LIFT` is the share of a fold spent stretching up before the side goes over; `LOAF_REACH`, inside `makeDoughScene`, is the highest the held edge goes, which keeps a strong side pulled from the far edge inside the bowl's outline. The round's size and lumpiness per strength are in `roundShape`; the bowl's outline is the `profile` list. The bench surface and the two dough skins are the `data-tex-bench`, `data-tex-slack` and `data-tex-taut` paths on the `data-loaf-gl` element in `sourdough.html`. The two preset cuts are the `PRESETS` point lists in `initLoaf`; times and temperatures are plain text in the page and in `paint()`. Replacing the proofed and baked photographs: keep the loaf round, centred and the same size in both, or the cuts will not line up. To remove the bench, delete the `#loaf` section; the script skips it when it is missing and three.js is then never requested.

**Proofing photograph (kitchen).** The proof photograph enlarges slightly as it scrolls past; remove `data-proof` to keep it still.

**Class dates (classes).** Each date is a button with `data-date` and `data-left` (places left of eight); the dots are drawn from it and a full date is `disabled`. Choosing a date fills the booking summary; places and the total follow it.

**Status line and order (visit).** The status line reads the `SHOP` block in the bakery's own time zone. Order lines carry `data-price` and `data-days`, so lines not baked on the chosen morning grey out. Collection mornings skip closed days and roll forward after the cut-off.

**Map (visit).** MapLibre on OpenFreeMap tiles (OpenStreetMap data, no key needed), repainted in the template's colours, with a pin on Henderson Street and the walk from the Foot of the Walk tram stop. To move it, edit `BAKERY`, `TRAM` and `WALK` (`[longitude, latitude]` pairs) above `initMap` in `assets/script.js`. The map is a labelled region with a link to OpenStreetMap until it loads.

### Forms

The collection order, class booking and wholesale forms are **unwired front ends**. The order form collects the collection morning, quantities, a name for the bag and a phone number; the booking form collects a date, places, name, email and dietary needs; the wholesale form collects a business, email, delivery day and a note. Nothing is sent or saved: each shows a confirmation that says so. Point them at Formspree, Netlify Forms, your booking system or your CRM and update the "Demo form" notes before taking real orders.

### Palette

Seven tokens at the top of `assets/style.css`, each with an RGB triple for translucent rules:

| Token | Value | Role |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `--butter` | `#F2E1B0` | Page ground |
| `--flour` | `#FBF7EE` | Cards, the ticket, forms, the menu sheet |
| `--sugar` | `#3A1D0E` | Text, the dark bands |
| `--sugar-soft` | `#6E4630` | Captions and figure units |
| `--crust` | `#9A4A1A` | Rules, the current page, small labels |
| `--glaze` | `#B02E43` | Sold-out marks, the order button, places left |
| `--caramel` | `#E9B98A` | Accent text on the dark bands only |

Measured contrast pairs are recorded in the comment above the tokens. Keep glaze to sold-out marks and one order button per screen, and never use it as a ground.

### Accessibility and Fallbacks

- Every page is complete without JavaScript: links load pages normally, the ruler stages and both benches' steps show as lists (the 3D bowl needs JavaScript and WebGL), filters are hidden and the full menu shows, the footer page list replaces the phone menu.
- Reduced motion swaps pages instantly with no fold, shows the display lines in place, opens the phone menu without folding and jumps both benches to each step's end.
- Native buttons with visible focus everywhere; the ruler is a slider with a spoken value; filters and dates use `aria-pressed`; totals and the bench announce changes politely.
- The phone menu is a dialog: focus moves into it, Tab stays inside, Escape closes it and focus returns to the Menu button.
- After a page change the new heading receives focus; its ring shows for keyboard navigation only.

### Dependencies

- [GSAP](https://gsap.com) 3.15.0 with ScrollTrigger (works with 3.12+), loaded from jsDelivr.
- [three.js](https://threejs.org) 0.180.0, loaded on demand from jsDelivr on the sourdough page for the Loaf Bench. It is an ES module fetched with `import()`, so the page needs no import map.
- [MapLibre GL JS](https://maplibre.org) 4.7.1, loaded on demand from unpkg on the visit page, with the [OpenFreeMap](https://openfreemap.org) positron style. Keep the OpenStreetMap attribution on the map.
- `assets/page-router.js`, the bundled page router.

### Images

All 31 files in `assets/img/` are WebP images made for this template. **Every photograph is AI-generated**: an illustration of a fictional bakery, its kitchen and its customers, not a photograph of a real business, real premises or real people. No photographer is credited because none took them. Replace them with your own photographs before publishing, and do not present the generated people as your staff or customers. The kitchen windows show Edinburgh tenements and the Castle; there is no text or branding in any image.

To replace an image, keep its filename and proportions, or update every path plus its `width`, `height`, alt text and caption. The take-home callouts on `classes.html` are positioned in percentages over that photograph; move them if your photograph differs. The phone hero uses `hero-phone.webp`, a 4:5 crop on the cut faces.

#### Fonts

Both families are self-hosted in `assets/fonts/` as the latin woff2 files Google Fonts serves, declared at the top of `assets/style.css`: [Gloock](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Gloock) (display, item names, wordmark) and [Hanken Grotesk](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Hanken+Grotesk) (everything else; one variable file covers 400 to 600, with tabular figures). Both are preloaded in each page's `<head>`. Licence: SIL Open Font License 1.1, with copyright lines and the full text in `assets/fonts/OFL.txt`; keep that file with the fonts.
