@matthewmorek Variable fonts aren’t very abstract. The underlying tech predates the W3C, so there’s plenty of tangible stuff to work from.

@kaibernau The title would also make a good Unicode name.

Has anyone else experienced a major lag / spinning beach ball when opening the Web Inspector in the latest version of Safari?

@drew_mc I think it’s safe to say that is more a proof of concept than a polished typeface. Any issues you see aren’t due to the technology.

@drew_mc But variable font widths are not manually squished. They use the same interpolation that was designed by the typeface designer.

@drew_mc Have you never used a condensed typeface for headlines etc?

@touchofpk I agree. I’d guess weight & width variations are showing up first because those are the only axes supported by a browser so far.

@touchofpk There are only 3 in current use:
- Skia

… That makes Dunbar the first full typeface to be sold as #variablefonts. It also demonstrates one model for retail distribution of v-fonts.

I just passed my 10-year anniversary of using @Flickr. There’ve been ups and downs with the service over that time, but I’m still a fan.

@ProductionType More or less: it was a student loan agency. I get similar emails from Facebook too though.

@g_benderski I’d say use whatever typefaces you think work best for you! :)

@g_benderski … For example, the idea of “Century” seemed to include Century-inspired designs like Benton Modern.
