## Trait

**Variable**. Its weights run 100 to 900, so you set Weight Axis: heavier hits harder, misses more. Receipt: `Katagami@3f3a0ea:README.md:36`

## Moves

- Bezier Points hits for 120, 95% of the time. The site draws the word Katagami as outlines; drag any curve point and the letter reshapes. Receipt: `Katagami@3f3a0ea:README.md:20, 25`
- Weight Axis hits for 135 at wght 600. Each Katagami style is a variable font: one file holding every weight, plus a matching Italic. Receipt: `Katagami@3f3a0ea:README.md:23, 36-40, 51`
- Shared Skeleton restores 60 health. Sans, Round, Text, Serif and Mono are built on one shared skeleton, so the site’s slider morphs a word through all five. Receipt: `Katagami@3f3a0ea:README.md:9, 25`
- Confusables Apart hits for 100. Katagami Mono, the coding style, gives 0, O, 1, l and I clearly different shapes, so code reads without mix-ups. Receipt: `Katagami@3f3a0ea:README.md:40, 57`
