此项目聚焦于探索规则如何不仅用于控制字体结构，也可以成为产生新形式的方法。项目从一个已有字体出发，通过建立一套规则不断修改和变化其字形。新的字形与原字体形成一种“寄生”关系：它依赖原有的结构，同时逐渐对其进行改变与重塑。
这一理念也延伸到内页的排版设计中。书中的文本栏宽度不断变化，从而影响页面构成、文字间距和阅读节奏。字体与排版遵循相同的原则：依附于已有系统，但又同时从内部不断改变它。
This project explores how rules can be used not only to control type design, but also to generate new forms. Starting from an existing typeface, a set of rules is introduced to continuously modify and transform its letterforms. The new forms exist in a parasitic relationship with the original typeface: they depend on its structure while gradually changing and reshaping it.
This idea is also extended to the book design. The width of the text columns continuously changes throughout the book, affecting the composition, spacing, and reading rhythm. Both the typeface and the layout follow the same principle of adapting to an existing system while transforming it from within.
