Variable OpenType fonts were introduced five years ago. You can buy them today or download them for free or as part of a subscription. But where can we all use them? Are you a type designer who wants to test variable fonts in end-user applications? Would you like to start offering quality assurance services to font developers, and you’re looking for a way to start? Are you a graphic designer or typographer who wants to use variable fonts?
It’s time to take a look at apps and systems that support variable OpenType fonts! In this workshop-style session, Adam Twardoch will show how you can install and use variable fonts in different apps, both desktop-style apps, and apps that run on the web or on devices. Explore user interfaces that let you choose the right instance, apply typographic features, and input the right characters or glyphs.
This session will include presentations interspersed with time for questions and answers.
Duration: 2 hours
