Variable fonts on the text

Where to find itFont › Variable font on text

Variable fonts carry several adjustable axes in a single font file. Medusa provides handles directly on the text for width, weight, slant and optical size where the font supplies those axes. Further axes appear as draggable tabs. For a magazine headline, you can adjust width while judging weight without searching for another style. You save useful settings under a name and can also store axis values in styles. Automatic optical size sets the corresponding axis according to the type size.

How to do it

1. Select the text you want to edit.
2. Apply a variable font to the text.
3. Choose Font › Variable font on text.
4. Drag the available axis handles and check the composition.

Tips

• Save established axis values in a style when several headings should match.

Limits

Only axes contained in the selected font file are available.
