A TYPEFACE IN THREE SETTINGS

One font.
More than one voice.

A variable font holds a whole range of shapes in a single file. Watch the same type find its place, from a few words to a full page.

01

The headline

A little narrower. A lot more presence.

Weight gives a headline its emphasis. A narrower width lets strong words fit into a smaller space.

02

The paragraph

Room to read. Detail made for small sizes.

At small optical sizes, details become sturdier and spacing opens up. Letters stay distinct when there’s more to read.

03

The poster

A bigger voice, with sharper details.

At large optical sizes, fine details become more refined. Width and weight give a few words enough presence to fill a page.

ABOUT THE TYPE

A field worth
exploring.

Everything you’ve seen here comes from Roboto Flex, a variable typeface by Font Bureau and the Roboto Flex Project Authors.

We’re exploring three of its thirteen axes: weight, width, and optical size. No stretched letters. Just the possibilities built into the font.
