Reglet·
vol. 14 — the review desk

Every verdict, locked to the measure.

Reglet is the proofing bench for technology reviews — a letterpress galley where each assessment sits on the same column, capped by a rule and ticked in the margin. Scores are typeset, not animated.

The measure

one ownable mechanic

A reglet is the thin strip a printer locks between lines to hold the measure true. Reglet makes that strip the interface: a margin rail that numbers every section, caps it with a rule, and ticks saffron where a verdict needs attention. Structure you can see, not chrome you tolerate.

The folio margin

Every section opens with a running number and a thick galley rule down the margin. The page reads like a bound issue, not a stack of cards.

002 · tick

Saffron registration

One signal ink. It appears as a margin tick, a highlighter swipe on a single word, and the inset bar on a flagged review — never as a wash.

003 · measure

Typeset scores

Verdicts are set in condensed display against serif copy, counted in discrete margin ticks. A reading you trust, held to the same column every issue.
