Variable Fonts And Our New Typography

We’ll start with a look at the current trends (and challenges) with design and design systems, and then move to an introduction to Variable Fonts and why they’re so important. Then we’ll have a quick overview of the current state of support and implementation. Finally, we’ll see how they work, with a live demo and a walk through a sample project that you can download and play with as well.
