● OVERVIEW
Variable fonts opened up a world of typographic possibilities – but until now, they’ve mostly been locked in static displays.
Introducing the Variable Font Animator, making it easy to animate and experiment with every axis of a variable font. From subtle shifts in weight to bold, expressive transformations, this tool turns text into motion bringing type to life in ways that were never possible before.

Typography isn’t just about letters on a page—it’s about voice, emotion, and narrative. Animated type can move in ways that mirror the stories being told: a headline can swell with confidence, a phrase can pulse with energy, or a single word can shift to reveal hidden meaning. When text becomes dynamic, it transforms from static copy into a living part of the design, creating experiences that feel more alive, more memorable, and more human.
