Victor is a a design engineer with a background in typography and print who loves working in the intersection between design and code.

As humans we have a natural ability to recognise numerical patterns in beauty, which has led to the creation of principles such as the golden ratio and the fibonacci sequence which has been used in architecture and art for almost 2000 years.

In this talk we will explore how to use math to create harmonious typographic and spacing scales as well as accessible and perceptually uniform colour scales using modern CSS.
