Chromatic Press / DESIGN & COMPONENTS

Chromatic Press
Made of its own parts.

Treat generative design as a visible craft. The settings sit next to the proof, and every rule changes the actual downloadable geometry.

01 / Palette & type

Printing paper, vermilion and cobalt, cropped ribbons and registration marks. Vivid color lives in the artwork while tools remain legible.

Paper#e7e4db

Ink#232625

Vermilion#ee4d22

Cobalt#253eac

Bricolage Grotesque, with ink traps cut for print, titles the press. Inter Tight reads the controls; IBM Plex Mono labels seeds, dimensions and edition marks.

02 / Composition & behavior

A working settings rail beside a print proof; compact mobile settings come before the artwork. Crop marks and paper edges establish a printmaker’s desk.

Changing a rule immediately redraws static SVG paths. There is no animated preview or remote generation wait.

A styled native range and labeled number field expose density and seed to keyboard users. Palette buttons have readable names and pressed states, not color-only identification.

03 / Controls, including the edges

01
Fifty-step undo/redo with grouped slider edits and scoped keyboard shortcuts

02
Browser drafts with validated JSON backup and selective restore
A styled native range and labeled number field expose density and seed to keyboard users. Palette buttons have readable names and pressed states, not color-only identification.
03
Three deterministic composition algorithms
A deterministic seeded generator is shared by the SVG preview and export. Local geometry uses no AI service, image API, canvas dependency or external fonts.
04
Density, seed and named ink palettes
A deterministic seeded generator is shared by the SVG preview and export. Local geometry uses no AI service, image API, canvas dependency or external fonts.
05
Editable self-contained SVG export
A deterministic seeded generator is shared by the SVG preview and export. Local geometry uses no AI service, image API, canvas dependency or external fonts.
06
An independent component book
A deterministic seeded generator is shared by the SVG preview and export. Local geometry uses no AI service, image API, canvas dependency or external fonts.
07
Select, tooltip & scroll area
Keyboard behavior is shared; this theme owns the popup colors, border, radius, type and focus.
08
Export & limits
A procedural art study rather than an AI generator or professional prepress system. Downloads contain the artwork, not the surrounding proof labels.

04 / Form & feedback contract

A local preparation note. Try an empty submission, correct it, then export your actual input.
