Variable Font

Also known as:OpenType Variable Font

Definition

A variable font is a single font file that contains multiple variations of a typeface — including different weights, widths, and styles — encoded as a continuous range of values rather than separate files. Variable fonts reduce page load times on websites and offer designers and creators unprecedented flexibility to fine-tune typography for specific contexts without loading multiple font files.
