I made a typeface, it's called Flexflex 🔠

I've been working on this project on-and-off for many months. Very happy to finally release it!

Flexflex is a typeface that responds to spatial requirements rather than imposing them. Built on a modular system, each letter can fit inside any given rectangular container and transforms continuously if its ratio changes. In theory, it's infinitely flexible.

For more information and interactive demos, see the website: https://ronikaufman.github.io/flexflex

@ronikaufman I feel like this could be great as an actual font if that were possible, but I suppose it probably isn't?

@nazokiyoubinbou It would be great. I suppose it's not possible, but I don't know enough about font file formats to be sure

@ronikaufman @nazokiyoubinbou It is possible, build it as a variable font with width and height axes. See https://djr.com/fit for prior art.
