Tired of fonts that can’t keep up with your brand’s unique vibe?
Pixso 2.0 launches variable fonts—designed to meet the strictest brand visual standards. They support HM Symbol font, with seamless adjustments for slant, width, weight, and more, so every word fits your brand like a glove.
What are Variable Fonts?
Variable fonts let a single file support multiple styles by bundling several fonts into one compact file, using defined variations to create single-axis or multi-axis design spaces that store multiple design variations—equivalent to containing a font with an infinite number of glyphs.
🚩 Small Size, Big Impact:
For example, a regular font family with 6 weights might hit 50MB. But a variable font with the same weight range? Just around 20MB. It delivers more style options with less file size.
How to Apply Variable Fonts?
In Octo online design, the HM Symbol variable font is already available. Just apply it in your enterprise fonts to see the power of variable fonts in action.
By adjusting a variable axis, you can customize properties like font weight, font width, or slant. There are two ways to set these axes:
Option 1: Text Properties Panel
Select a text layer using a variable font. Click the […] icon on the right sidebar to open the text settings panel. Switch to the Variable tab and set the font axes.
Option 2: Weight Dropdown Menu
Select a text layer using a variable font. Open the weight style dropdown on the right sidebar. At the bottom, click Set Variable Font. In the axis settings panel, use sliders or input fields to adjust each axis value.
Key Advantages of Variable Fonts
1. Simple to Use, Instant Results
In the panel, use sliders or input boxes to change each axis value. See your variable font respond right away. Adjust until you get the exact style you need.
2. Freedom Like Never Before
Variable fonts can have single-axis or multi-axis design spaces. By tweaking available axes, you control text slant, weight, and width with precision. Every adjustment is smooth, continuous, and visually seamless. Designers can easily create custom letterforms for any layout need.
3. Perfect Brand Consistency
Variable fonts make it simple to match your brand’s visual rules. Keep every font style consistent, polished, and professional—across every design and platform.
Your brand’s text deserves to stand out—sharp, consistent, and uniquely yours. Pixso 2.0’s variable fonts make that easy. Dive in, tweak those axes, and let these fonts turn every word into a perfect fit. What are variable fonts? Your new go-to for font magic.
