At today’s visit to the @TypeMedia graduation show, we’ve been most excited about the work of Mălin Neamțu, who‘s #VariableFont Family Segmentor explores wildest territories and can be activated by his electronic drum kit.

Yesterday https://NouvelleNoire.ch released this typewriter inspired typeface by Alexander Colby.
Formerly released with Milieu Grotesque as Lacrima, it found a new home at #NouvelleNoire.
I helped with production, #VariableFont & hinting.
NN Éditeur began with a spark from the past — the Light Italic from an IBM Golfball typewriter. Our friend Alexander Colby came across it in an old IBM Selectric® specimen and couldn’t let it go. So he brought it into the digital age.
Razzel Dazzel is one of four concept fonts I created during my Bachelor thesis at HKB (Bern Academy of the Arts), resembling Dazzle Camouflage.
Exploring the potential of #KineticFonts, designed as a #VariableFont.
Thesis mentored by Edgar Walthert @eWalthert 
(The other fonts will follow :)
Not to forget JIVE, the dancing font, that can be animated with three axes.

Surround might be the most exciting #KineticFont out of the four proof of concepts by @simontruffer
Also the physical knob and slider to manipulate the #VariableFont
Gaze, an experimental variable font created in 2022 in collaboration with Yoann Bry.
The goal of this font was to stretch variable type to its limits, for pure animation purposes: lower case becomes upper case, thin type becomes super fat... It was a challenge to make everything interpolate without too much overlap.
Test it out for yourself !

Wow wow wow!

Mov Variable #VariableFont
Designed by Felix Pfäffli and Robin Eberwein
Mov is a showcase of ideas how to move variable fonts other than the registered axes.

#WIP #variablefont as flashcard
OK, have a great weekend everyone.
Here is another animation by Daniël Maarleveld for #ElectricBlue.
Now with Latin Extended glyph set.
The version v0.3 is available at @futurefonts
https://www.future-fonts.com/fontspectrum/electric-blue
#VariableFont #FutureFonts #Cavalry #Ad
We updated #ElectricBlue with Latin Extended accents.
Daniël Maarleveld made this amazing animation, that takes advantage of the full spectrum of weights included in Electric Blue. #VariableFont @futurefonts
amoeba's can take any shape, even that of a letter #VariableFont #colorv1
Amsterdam has a new #foundry!

Laucke Siebein/ Type f.k.a. Zeeburg Typefoundry has two typefaces so far. Notch is a #VariableFont made to animate to music. Mimesis is a modernisation of an #ArtDeco typeface by Heinrich Wieynck, published by Wilhelm Woellmer.
In collabotration with Clemens Buchegger.

Here you go @monokrom.
And thanks, it is a fun puzzle indeed.
This update has been rightfully requested a loooooong time ago by @haraldpeter.
Might still take a while to flatten everything, add kerning and make sure the replacement works everywhere.
But tricky letters are resolved now.
Typesetting a font specimen for a #VariableFont with #TeXLaTeX is one of the last adventures apparently ;)
But I got it working now. luaotfload seems to be buggy, but set to render the fonts with #HarfBuzz it seems to work.
An update for LTR Very Bauble! The original characterset was a bit sparse, so I added, oh, let's see, an asterism, at, sterling, questiondown, Eacute, Ohungarumlaut, Icircumflex, Scommaaccent, Lslash, Adieresis.alt and, let's see, about 2500 more of their friends! All animated with lines, thorns and pips. One axis, five masters. These letters were already having a party and now they are having a ball, waving their new flag and banners. #ad #update #tuscan #variablefont https://letterror.com/verybauble/index.html

It also happens in LibreOffice on Gnome with the Bold weight. I don't even have the slightest idea how to debug this. #gnome #kde #fonts #linux #VariableFont
Any idea why a variable font with weight (wght) and descender (YTDE) axes would show the short descender when I select the Light instead of the (default) Regular weight in KDE Konsole? #kde #fonts #linux #VariableFont
my WIP #VariableFont where I am experimenting interpolation between two totally dissimilar designs, a Serif typeface inspired by LibreBaskerville, and a Blackletter typeface emulating Unifracture-Cook Bold.
