⚠️ Notice: As a showcase of variable fonts, this site requires a web browser that supports OpenType font variation technology. It looks like your browser doesn’t, so please consider upgrading to one that does (the latest versions of Chrome work well, even on older operating systems). Otherwise, the font samples below will only appear as static fonts.
A 21st-century tribute to the classic Franklin Gothic type family and its lighter-weight siblings, News Gothic and Lightline Gothic. The design draws specifically from ATF’s original fonts for letterpress printing, and not the later adaptations from other companies. Offered with discounted pricing while it’s still a work in progress.
Full disclosure: This typeface was designed by the editor of this website.

The Immortel family of serif typefaces comprises four variants (Infra, Colera, Vena, and Acedia), all designed with multiplexed set widths to be interchangeable without causing text to reflow. The Infra and Vena variants – inspired by Robert Granjon and Jacques-François Rosart, respectively – are intended for use in running body text. They include “Median” italics for longer blocks of text, as well as more exaggerated italics for stronger emphasis. They both also offer a variable grade axis for slight weight adjustments, to accommodate different typographic environments and user preferences.

A typographic system built into a single font, containing 7 sets of capitals with different heights and vertical positions for mixing and matching. Glyph variants are accessible via OpenType with stylistic sets or by repeating characters while discretionary ligatures are enabled, with uppercase and lowercase changing height and position, respectively.
A geometric sans that takes on a more sci-fi feeling in its wider variants. Includes an axis to only widen some glyphs, resulting in an irregular mixed-width style.
A pair of related sans typefaces commissioned by Smena and AIC Media for official state and social service websites in Russia. Golos Text is designed for continuous reading, whereas Golos UI – with slightly narrower proportions and multiplexed weights – is intended more for user interface elements.
