Whoa specimen from Scribble Tone

An experimental variable font that uses three axes — vertical position, horizontal position and rotation — to push letterforms into the appearance of three-dimensional space.

About

Whoa works through a layering system: a base outline style generates the extruded depth effect, while a filled 'top' style sits above it to maintain legibility. The three variable axes are controlled via sliders in Illustrator or Photoshop. Released in 2019 as an ongoing experiment, with further axes and alphabet variations planned.

Classification

An experimental variable display typeface that uses three axes to simulate three-dimensional depth through outline extrusion, placing it firmly in the display category with no conventional subcategory equivalent.
