Weight Width Mono

Variable Fonts are used with axes rather than fixed font weights. The font is built on two axes, Weight (Thin → Black) and Width (Condensed → Extended). There is also a Monospace version of Spezia; which is built on Weight (Thin → Black) and monospace axes (Mono → Proportional Widths). In the design process, we focused on the best interpolation. Each shape flows continuously from slight to strong, from tight to expansive. Spezia opens a new range of possibilities for web typography. Internet Bandwidth limits the use of a wide range of font‑weights on one website. For example Spezia Complete Upright is one single lightweight font‑file (97KB Thin → Black). This makes Spezia an excellent tool for responsive design.

der Wetterbericht des 23. Juli

Arbusto de Chá

Untermeerische Berge sind höher, viele Gebirgszüge sind länger,
viele Schluchten tiefer als irgendwo auf dem Festen. Wenn man
den höchsten Berg, den Mount Everest mit seinen 8847 Metern
Höhe, in die tiefste Tiefe versenken wollte, so würden immer noch
gut 3000 Meter Wassertiefe über seinem Gipfel liegen.
