Variable Fonts: Exploring the future of typography

What happens if you access a variable font with an application that doesn't have the necessary capability (like Microsoft Word)? Can you still use the base font?

Good video. Please mind the sound volume variation between voiceover and intro music

Tonight, February 13, 2022, this show is the second I have watched. I have learned about typography that I could find in the computer magazines during the 1990s decade. Thank you for your font forum, and I subscribed to you before I watched this episode.

so basically if you stretch or squish the letterforms using variable font parameters, it's the new hotness. but if you stretch or squish the letterforms by other means it's a big typography no no?

Thankyou Sir

Intro is too long bro, but nice vid anyway

Perfect video, congratulations!!

This was very helpful. Thanks for the explanation. I used two variable fonts for the typesetting of my PhD thesis without knowing much about the background. After printing I have got some wired artifacts/gaps in some of the letters in the serif font I used. Are there any considerations regarding the usage of variable fonts in print products or is this something which is not recommended in general? Thanks

This is a super interesting post. Thank you!
