Solaflare specimen from Swell Type

One variable file that slides from geometric sans to flared to full serif.

About

Solaflare comes out of the hand-painted signs of Santa Barbara, and its axis lets a headline shift from clean sans through a gentle flare to sharp serifs without changing typeface. John Roshell set up Swell Type after 27 years at Comicraft.

Classification

A variable display family whose axis runs from a clean geometric sans through a flared cut to a sharp-serifed one, so all three personalities live in one file.
