Variable Fonts

⚠️ Notice: As a showcase of variable fonts, this site requires a web browser that supports OpenType font variation technology. It looks like your browser doesn’t, so please consider upgrading to one that does (the latest versions of Chrome work well, even on older operating systems). Otherwise, the font samples below will only appear as static fonts.

Welcome to the new version 0.2 of this website. If you missed the presentation about the new features in the Typographics TypeLab, there's a very brief summary in the changelog.
