Weight Width

Variable Fonts are used with axes rather than fixed font weights. The font is build on two axes, Weight (Thin → Black) and Width (Condensed → Extended). 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 (190KB Thin → Black). This makes Spezia an excellent tool for responsive design.
