A simple resource for finding and trying variable fonts

⚠️ Notice: As a showcase of variable fonts, this site requires a web browser that supports OpenType font variation technology.

Otherwise, the font samples below will only appear as static fonts.

​Wind offers an unusual axis to vary its sweeping design elements smoothly around a full 360° circle of rotation. It can also be layered for special color/overlay effects. The typeface was adapted from Hansje van Halem’s alphabet design to a variable font form by Peter Biľak and Thom Janssen.
