This example visualizes typographic guidance from Robert Bringhurst’s *The Elements of Typographic Style* as an interactive text layout. It shows how different dash characters—hyphens, en dashes, and em dashes—occupy varying horizontal widths, rendered as animated glyphs that respond to pointer movement. The visualization uses Three.js to draw each character as a 3D mesh, with `d3.forceSimulation` arranging the dash specimens in a scattered, weighted distribution that mirrors their typographic relationships. The scene’s depth-of-field and lighting are computed via WebGL shaders, while the source text is parsed from the included `quote.markdown` file.
