Axis defintions #39

Open davelab6 opened 3 years ago

davelab6 commented 3 years ago

With VF versions teased on Twitter, I thought I'd start a discussion here about what the axis should be tagged, labelled, and ranged (min/def/max) as. cc @rosawagner

I'm guessing there are 2 options.

(A) Do what is shown in the tweets, and use the wght axis, but range them 400/400/700, Regular to Bold.

(B) Do custom axes for each. Eg

I think (A) probably makes sense, but I'm guessing it might vary. The Bubbles one looks perfectly normal as a weight axis. The hairy one looks pasable. The Sci Fi one is more questionable, and I could see that related to the Type Network Parametric Axes System, and split with anisomorphic filters into X Opaque and Y Opaque axes, eg XOSF and YOSF :)

Let's move this issues to the repo where the fonts are now. @NaN-xyz can you also invite Dave to the new repo ?
