Google Fonts has commissioned a second variable font project, a sans serif dubbed "Decovar," from Font Bureau.
Similar to Amstelvar (discussed in
http://typedrawers.com/discussion/1942/otvar-introducing-amstelvar)
this is the brainchild of David Berlow, and continues to push the envelope of OpenType 1.8. Another blog post introducing the project -
https://www.typenetwork.com/brochure/decovar-a-decorative-variable-font-by-david-berlow/
- includes some fun toys to see how the various axes can be combined.
Again, its all on Github to take a full look inside, and the repo includes pre-release build files which are not guaranteed to be good for anything other than an early peek inside during development:
