About
VARIANZ opens a two-dimensional design space anchored by four pole styles – High Sans, Low Sans, High Serif and Low Serif – with five intermediate named instances including Mix variants. The variable font ships alongside nine static styles and covers 583 glyphs per style with a broad OpenType feature set including oldstyle figures, case-sensitive forms and fractions. Language support extends to 215 languages across Latin and Greek scripts, with version 2.0 released in September 2023.
Classification
A two-axis variable superfamily spanning sans-serif and serif terminals, with intermediate 'Mix' instances. The 'Expression' and 'Serifs' axes allow continuous interpolation between high-contrast and low-contrast forms and between sans and serif construction, defying a single fixed category.
