Zycon – 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.

Zycon demonstrates the flexibility of variable fonts to manipulate forms beyond the typical axes of typographic variation. It comes from the first generation of GX variable fonts in the early 1990s, and was more recently revived to test support for OpenType font variations technology.
