The Letter

A complete piece of correspondence: spaced dateline, ruled salutation, overstrike, lowercase hand.

Core snippet

// Load the underwood module, then the letter is a handful of lines:
const plot = new GysinPlot({ seed: 1912 });
plot.underwood("DEAR READER,", 60, 150, { underline: 1 });
plot.underwood("THE MACHINE HAS ONE FACE, ONE SIZE.\n...", 60, 210);

// One word struck over with X's.
plot.underwood("FORGET", 60, 360);
plot.underwood("XXXXXX", 60, 360, { bold: true });

// The small hand signs.
plot.underwood("the small hand.", 60, 600);
plot.draw();

New strike or R keeps the letter and changes seeded wear. Download SVG or S saves the single-line paths.
