Workshop Day 2: Interpolation and Variable Fonts

Saturday 30 November 2019
10.00 – 17.30

Day 2. Interpolation and Variable Fonts:

  • The production of a large font family by understanding the crucial role of interpolation and multiple masters.
    You will be introduced to create different axes by means of interpolation. You will understand the difference between masters and instances. Also, you will learn to make all your glyphs compatible in order to successfully set up your masters.
