    Movement Matters: Variable Fonts’ New Tonal Expressions

    Tiny fact check: “While a built-in slider to move between masters might seem like a basic requirement for contemporary font editors, it only appears to be available in Fontra.”

    @fontlab has native slider(s) since version 6.
    In version 5, one could even find one in the Metrics Window, that was the #MultipleMaster technique though, and not #VariableFonts.

  2. Right on time for your last minute #holiday post, we released #SilverCoil.
    A rotating #VariableFont that can be loped into infinity. ♾️

    With this font, @eWalthert flies solo. Inspired by the rotating letters of Daniël, he dug out an old concept developed during the #MultipleMaster era.
    Silver Coil mixes his expertise from variable font engineering, with knowledge gained by creating #AnimatedGIF​s. Available via @futurefonts
