Variable type foundry · Est. this afternoon

The shape of a letter, in motion. One font can be a whole family, if you let it move.

The idea

One font. A thousand voices.

A variable font is not a single weight. It is a continuous space of possibilities: weight, width, optical size, slant and more, all living in one file. This whole page uses five of them, and not a single image. Everything you see is a letter, set live in your browser.

The dimensions

Four axes to bend a letter

Weight
wght

Weight

From hairline to heavy black, one continuous dimension.

Width
wdth

Width

Condensed to extended, the letters breathe wider.

Optical
opsz

Optical size

Fine detail for headlines, sturdier shapes for text.

Slant
slnt

Slant

A true italic angle, dialed in by the degree.

The specimens

Five faces, moving

Scroll each specimen. The axes animate as it passes, so you read the typeface's whole range in one gesture.

Set in motion.

No canvas, no video, no images. Just five open variable fonts and a handful of CSS animations. Here is exactly how it was made.
