I wonder why we must always have symmetrical margins, many old books certainly don't. This is a experiment to extend the golden ratio to govern how available blank spaces grow to induce a sense of motion

While strict golden-ratio alignment isn’t feasible on a phone screen, the principle of using φ to govern critical alignments still stands. When key elements share φ-based relationships along at least one axis, the layout preserves much of the geometric rhythm & optical stability

Bottom align all header text, breaking up the mono grid in the content section to control the word count per line between 8-16 words.

An old paper I second authored way back from 2018, dressed in a new layout based on the golden ratio

A new layout starts with some mysteriously brilliant backgrounds and a guideline based on the golden ratio
