Font Specimen Glyph Tabs in Tailwind CSS

A foundry specimen card: the foundry mark on the left, large glyph tabs on the right — Aa for the roman, Bb for the bold, Cc for small caps. The chosen glyph pulses vermilion; the panel now shows a full pangram in that cut, set in Fraunces.

What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • input:checked + .tt16b { color; transform: scale(1.15) } became has-checked:text-ttb28-red has-checked:scale-115.
  • The italic captions became panels whose content is a pangram set in each cut (font-normal, font-black, [font-variant-caps:small-caps]).
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: glyph-only tabs gained sr-only names (screen readers heard "A a, B b"), and the three glyphs now preview their own cut.
  • UI upgrade: vermilion lifted from 2.8:1 to 4.6:1 on the stage, resting glyphs from 40% to a 6.9:1 token; Fraunces replaces generic ui-serif.

How this works

The specimen is the content. Each panel sets the same pangram in its cut, so choosing a tab is choosing a style:

<p class="hidden group-has-[#ttb28-r3:checked]/tabs:block font-medium [font-variant-caps:small-caps]">
  Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.
</p>

Tab glyphs transform from origin-bottom-left, so the scale grows up and right from the baseline and never collides with the meta column.

Make it yours

  • Ligatures or numerals as glyphs: fi st ct or 0 1 2.
  • Light card: cream stock, ink glyphs, burgundy active.
  • Add an issue line under the catalogue id.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Glyph-only labels need an sr-only name ("Roman", "Bold", "Small caps").
  • small-caps is synthesised if the font lacks real small caps; Fraunces has them.
  • Don't put icons inside baseline-aligned tabs — they break the shared baseline.
