Variable Fonts: Interviews Request

Doug Wilson

Hello type designers! We are now 10 years into the official launch of Variable Font technology.

How do you actually use or create variable fonts in your work? Do you make them? Have clients requested VFs from you? Do you think VFs are a total bust? Do you think VFs are the future and everyone should be making them?

I’m doing three weeks of interviews in April to gather real-world feedback on the state of variable fonts and the future of the technology. I’m looking for type designers for 30-minute conversations about your experience with variable font production, adoption, and where you think the technology is headed.

Full disclosure: this is part of a paid research project with Font Bureau (David Berlow, not Monotype), but no one has control over the outcomes. I want the full range of perspectives—if you’re skeptical or critical of where VFs are going, I especially want to hear from you. 

Results will be published with credit and attribution (unless you prefer to remain anonymous). I can’t pay you for your time, but you’ll have my everlasting thanks. 

I have limited slots, so please share this around and book a time here: https://typeadvisor.com/vf-interviews.html
