Annual Letter · 年度信笺
Produce a single-file, letter-grade HTML deck in the Stripe Annual Letter
genre: a published letter you read, not a template you skim. Prose flows in
serif paragraphs; numbers live in inline data cards and giant display anchors.
The visual system, canvas contract, and navigation runtime are locked by
example.html. Start from example.html, replace content only — do not
rewrite the design or the script, and never introduce colors or fonts outside
this spec.

Hard spec (locked — violating any line is a regression)
Canvas & scaling
- One
<div id="stage">fixed at 1920 × 1080 px, centered withposition: fixed; top: 50%; left: 50%. - A
fit()function scales the stage to the viewport:scale = min(innerWidth / 1920, innerHeight / 1080), applied astranslate(-50%, -50%) scale(s), re-run onresize. Letterboxed, never cropped. - All layout inside the stage uses px (never
vw/vh/%for type) — the scaler owns responsiveness.
Slides & navigation runtime (do not rewrite the script)
- Each page is one
<section class="slide">directly inside#stage, with adata-screen-label="01 刊头"-style label (1-indexed). - Exactly one slide carries
.active. No.darkpages in this theme — every page sits on cream paper; rhythm comes from density, not theme flips. - Keyboard:
←/↑/PageUpprevious ·→/↓/Space/PageDownnext ·Home/Endfirst/last. Hash routing#/N(1-indexed) read on load andhashchange, written viahistory.replaceState. Click: left third back, rest forward. Fixed counter pill bottom-right, key-hint bottom-left. - Zero external JS, zero build step; the file must open via
file://inside a sandboxed iframe.

- Fonts via Google Fonts
@import: Newsreader (display, incl. italic), Source Serif 4 (prose), Noto Serif SC (CJK serif), Inter, Noto Sans SC. - All numerals tabular: the shared
.numclass setsfont-variant-numeric: tabular-nums; every metric, year, and display number uses it. - One accent. Never a second hue, never a gradient, never a dark slide.
Letter chrome (every page)
- Letterhead top strip with hairline rule: publication/company name left (small-caps Inter, letter-spaced, brand word in accent), issue + date right.
- Footer hairline rule: section name left, author/issue meta right. Page numbering lives only in the runtime counter pill — never also printed inside a slide.
- Headings in
var(--serif)(Newsreader/Noto Serif SC), weight 500–600 — letters are set elegantly, not boldly; key words getclass="hl"(accent), never the whole heading. - Kicker: small-caps Inter label with a short 44×3px accent bar above section titles.
- Chinese copy uses 「」 quotes; 中英混排 keeps English in Newsreader italic.
Signature devices (the genre — use them, don't substitute)
| Device | Spec |
|---|---|
| Prose measure | paragraphs max-width: 980px (≈65ch), serif 25–27px, line-height: 1.9, text-align: justify optional |
| Drop cap | first paragraph of the letter body: ::first-letter serif, ~3 lines tall, accent color |
| Inline data card | --panel bg, 1px hairline, 2–3px accent top rule, small-caps Inter label + large tabular serif numeral + one-line caption; floated beside or gridded next to prose |
| Display-number anchor | one giant tabular numeral 180–280px in accent, alone on the page with a one-line setup above and a footnote below |
| Minimal chart | inline SVG only: single purple line/area on hairline baseline, direct labels on data points, no grid mesh, no legend, no chartjunk |
| Quote page | oversized serif quote (60–76px, weight 500) with an accent-soft giant quotation mark, attribution in small-caps Inter |
| Signed closing | farewell prose + serif-italic signature block + key-hint capsule |

Scale & rhythm
- Body prose ≥ 24px (at 1920×1080), headings 64–132px, display numerals 180–280px, chrome labels 14–16px.
- Alternate density: prose page → display-number page → whitespace/quote page. A letter is quiet; resist decorating it.
- At most 3 accent touches per page; whitespace is the composition.
Workflow
- Clarify once (skip for small edits): letter type, audience, the year's real numbers and 2–4 narrative chapters, tone. One batch of questions.
- Real content only. Use the user's actual material and real metrics;
never lorem ipsum, never invented statistics. Missing data gets an honest
<!-- 待用户提供 -->placeholder. - Showcase first for ≥5 pages: build the 2 structurally most different pages (cover + prose-with-cards), confirm, then batch the rest.
- Copy
example.html, retitle, swap token values only if the user has a brand, then replace each section's content following the layout enumeration. Keep letterhead/footer chrome and the script intact. - Self-check before delivery: arrow through every page; counter and
#/Nstay in sync; no overflow; prose stays inside the 980px measure; numerals all tabular; grep for leftover placeholders.
Anti-AI-slop checklist (non-negotiable)
- ❌ Bullet lists where prose should flow — this genre speaks in paragraphs.
- ❌ A second accent color, gradients, dark "tech" pages, neon glow.
- ❌ Emoji as icons; inline SVG or plain glyphs (
✦ ✓ → ·) only. - ❌ Chartjunk: grids, legends, 3D, more than one series color.
- ❌ Proportional figures in metrics — tabular numerals everywhere.
- ✅ One detail at 120% (the display number), the rest at 80%.
- ✅ Honest footnotes and sources under every metric panorama.
