When you click on it, you'll find some widgets. Pick the font you prefer, and you'll see the Variable Font icon popping up. After you selected the text in your document, click on the font selection, Variable Fonts are all highlighted by a new "Var" icon (see screenshot below). Using a Variable Font is as easy as using any other font. How do you use Variable Fonts in InDesign? Take now this fantasy world, and imagine Fonts that can bleed (like Cheee Variable) or become 3 dimensional (like the FS Kitty VF) or do other things that until now you would have had only in your wildest dreams or would have required hours and hours of work in Illustrator. In other words, imagine a new Font where the width is not fixed and you can literally condensing or extending each glyph width as much as you want. In a sense that the developer of the Font (Fonts are software) might decide to make some characteristics variable and allow the user to change those characteristics to match a new design.
With Variable Fonts this concept is partially changed. Traditionally a Font is a precise set of characteristics (size, width, spacing, style, etc.) of a specific typeface, where the typeface is the shape of the Font.
These two sides of InDesign unify with this new feature, giving designers new sets of possibilities for their arts. With the release of InDesign 2020, Adobe brings from Photoshop to InDesign one of the best features a creative person can ask for: Variable Fonts.Īdobe InDesign has always been a tool capable of beautiful typography and oriented to strong, omnipresent automation.
