- The project reports that all 1,214,967 Moby-Dick characters survive in its poster, with a SHA-256 match.
Field notes
The described workflow measures characters in ten weights of Roboto Flex, then maps a photo’s ink demand to the typography. The page shows text being read from an artwork’s SVG in top-left reading order and links to a repository, test documents and proof reports. Its reported checks include 10 of 10 one-pagers read back and verified; those results are presented as project evidence, not independent verification.
