Feynman Diagram QED

ProMax

In 1949 Richard Feynman published a line-art shorthand for particle interactions: straight lines for electrons, wavy lines for photons, meeting at vertices. This system takes the chalkboard reading of those diagrams — fine light strokes suspended in a deep blue-black quantum void, no fill, no glow. Only the stroke carries meaning. Serif TeX typography and generous negative space complete the skeleton, precise and unadorned.
