SURROUND is the second concept font I developed during my Bachelor's thesis at HKB (Bern Academy of the Arts).

Using three variable font axes (Animation, Wave Amplitude and Wave Direction) to control the motion, 208 masters were created to cover all steps. A Python script took around 20 hours to complete the pixel displacement for all 26 letters. But once rendered and saved as a font file, it runs butter-smooth — at least in the browser.

I ran into the COLR-font update for illustrator some months ago by accident, but it seems they did really mention it in the update preview! (thanks @khaled )

Nice to see Nabla (thanks to @justvanrossum & @googlefonts ) in a Adobe release 😆

@Adobe Interested in having your very own COLRv1 font? 😎
