Every letter is drawn on strings. Type, and the ink plays them.

A playhead reads each glyph from left to right. Where a stroke ends, turns, or crosses a string, that string sounds. Tap the strings below and start typing.

Your name has a melody

Capitals are downbeats, so a name always starts on a bass note. The line under it is the tune a listener follows: the notes each letter adds above the drone.

Every letter, figure and mark. Brass dots are melody, red dots touch the drone strings, rings are bells, bars are bowed. Tap any glyph to hear it.
