Last week I was teaching a workshop called Modular Variable Fonts at #MerzAkademie in Stuttgart.
While my requirement — to have experience in manipulating vector paths — had not been shared, everyone was able to complete a alphabet and animate it in #Cavalry
Tools: @glyphsapp, @mark2mark’s #VariableFont Preview and @abcdinamo’s #FontGauntlet
We have just been asked, if it is possible to make variable fonts with transparency and gradients.
Sure you can … Thanks to #COLRv1 … the question is, if you will be able to use them anywhere.
Quick proof of concept made in @fontlab 8, tested in #FontGauntlet on @Vivaldi
O for 36 days of type.
Animated in Dinamo Font Gauntlet https://fontgauntlet.com
