Type SpecimensDec 15

Specimen for HAL Gap, released by HAL Typefaces (Elias Hanzer & Lucas Liccini) in September 2025. Gap becomes thicker or thinner by trimming or adding black, with the sides always cut vertically. A solid choice for dense headlines – or funky arrhythmic words by mixing weights. As with any good concept, it works because not all letters participate. A, y, z, for example, perform the Gap dance on their own terms.

This week I wrapped up my short course on variable fonts for the Art Academy of Latvia students. My objective was very modest: just make some letters that move! But now I'm quite moved myself, seeing the result of their earnest, even if somewhat derivative, work.
Apropos, 7 out 11 projects were made with @fontra. And you know what? Having tried working with variable fonts in Fontra, I have no desire to get back to other font editors.

What would be the easy and accessible routine to produce a gif from a variable font on Windows?
Ideally, using free tools.
I'm teaching a short VF course, and my students want to show their stuff on social media.

Dear Designers: Stop Using System Fonts Like It’s 2005

System fonts once defined the web's visual identity, but today they’re mostly fallback options, lacking the personality and control modern typography demands. In a world of variable fonts and expressive design, relying on system fonts isn’t nostalgic—it’s just lazy.

Yesterday I made a d-tour via Luzern to meet Felix Päffli from Studio Feixen.
Literally the nicest guy! 🫶
We found some similarities in our explorations with #VariableFonts.
Duh, Studio Feixen did EVERYTHING in their new font MOV:
