What if web typography felt more like a magazine layout? 📖
Pretext is making text layout insanely fast, which means the kind of editorial, print-style design we love is finally possible on the web…and interactive.
For creative freelancers, that’s huge.
No more rigid text blocks - now it’s: • text flowing around elements • dynamic, real-time layouts
I tested it by generating my own layout in Magicpath using a custom prompt - ended up building an interactive “Pretext Layout Demo” where a draggable orb reshapes the layout in real time. As it moves, the text flows, splits, and wraps around it, turning a static page into something that actually feels alive.
🤔 Curious how you’d use something like this - or where you see this going next?
Just designed Modfit – Fashion Landing Page.
Built for brands that want a clean, modern, and high-converting shopping experience.
DM “STORE” if you want something similar.

Good work
8TERNITY was an exploration of luxurious digital shopping experience.
An evergreen fashion collectible where 'forever isn't enough'
the aim of the layout is to exercise a clear and easy to navigate UI
I fashioned the UI and pieced the functional built together. I engineered the whole item of joy and delightful e-commerce together.
Its a very uniquely detailed experience both on web and mobile. The page is heavily white spaced and information about the model are provided relative to the user... all these pieces make up for a wholesome shopping experience where churn is catered to and every user is equally served .
That's Design engineering I master pieced.
great work 👌
