I can finally share a thing I did for @typotheque: an interactive visualization to explore their Zed Display variable font:

@typotheque It's a fun playground! The visualization can be a customized explanation of the designspace, but it can also be a pretty blob of type: https://www.typotheque.com/blog/a-typeface-in-four-dimensions#eyJ3Z2h0IjowLjU4NjIwNjg5NjU1MTcyNDIsIndkdGgiOjAuNDY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NTYsImZvbnRTaXplIjozMTAsInJhZGl1cyI6NDksInJvdGF0aW9uIjoyNTYuMTUwMzIwMDAwMDAxLCJtYWluU2FtcGxlQ29sb3IiOiIwMDAwMDAiLCJ3Z2h0Q29sb3IiOiJmZmZmZmYiLCJ3ZHRoQ29sb3IiOiJmZmZmZmYiLCJzbG50Q29sb3IiOiJmZmZmZmYiLCJyb25kQ29sb3IiOiJmZmZmZmYiLCJjb21iaU9wYWNpdHkiOjAuMzEsImF4aXNPcmRlciI6WyJST05EIiwic2xudCIsIndnaHQiLCJ3ZHRoIl19

@justvanrossum I don’t want to call this porn for typography enthusiasts, but also I don’t know what else to call it
