Yellow River is Viktor Kharyk’s collection of pictorial signs: birds, plants, figures, and ornaments drawn to build a visual story from a keyboard.
Not text. A collection of scenes.
Yellow River works as a set of pictorial signs. Each keystroke adds a character, a plant, or an ornamental pause instead of a conventional letter.
Use it for packaging, posters, chapter openings, decorative dividers, and visual stories where an image can speak before the headline.

Hand this prompt to your AI agent. It connects the Shryftoriz server itself, reads Yellow River out of the catalogue, and builds with it.
Build me a typographic system around "Yellow River" using the Shryftoriz MCP server. Look the font up there first (lookup_font), check which cuts it actually has, then set a scale: display, headings, subheads, body, small print — with sizes, line heights and tracking for each. Say which cut does which job and why. If "Yellow River" is wrong for one of those roles, propose a Ukrainian alternative from the catalogue (find_alternatives) instead of stretching it. Finish with CSS I can paste into a project. If the Shryftoriz MCP server is not connected yet, add it first: HTTP transport, name "shryftoriz", URL https://shryftoriz.online/api/mcp — in Claude Code that is `claude mcp add --transport http shryftoriz https://shryftoriz.online/api/mcp`.
Or press the one you use — the prompt lands straight in its chat window.
