## Prompt (replace [TEXT] with your text)

```text
Lay out an editorial page: [TEXT] huge in a high-contrast didone serif, black on warm off-white book paper with visible fibers, framed by small columns of body text, thin rules and a running header. A round glass lens floats over the page. At rest it drifts slowly across the word at a gentle magnification. On hover it follows the pointer with a soft lag, grows larger and magnifies to about twice the size with a fisheye bulge: strong zoom in the center, compressed edges that stay continuous with the page, and red and blue chromatic fringes near the rim. Give the glass a bright rim highlight, a crescent reflection at the top left, a faint inner shadow and a soft shadow cast on the paper. A press pumps the zoom briefly. Touch drags the lens under the finger.
```
