Variable fonts

Last updated on : 2023-03-20

Note:

Variable fonts shows a browser compatibility score of 92. This is a collective score out of 100 to represent browser support of a web technology. The higher this score is, the greater is the browser compatibility. The browser compatibility score is not a 100% reflection for every browser and the web technology support. However, it does give you an estimate on how much you should rely on a particular web technology in terms of browser compatibility.

Overview

OpenType fonts now have independent control over the horizontal and vertical metrics that are used to layout glyphs from that font. This allows typographers to design a single font file that behaves like multiple fonts, providing all the variations needed for tasks such as typesetting.
