Code x Variable Fonts
with
Lynne Yun and
Kevin Yeh
Variable fonts have been a topic of growing curiosity in the type world — but how do we use them? Have you ever thought about building your own variable type tester, or wondered how they’re brought to life on the web?
Over two afternoons, this class will explore how to utilize variable fonts to create new digital experiences, opening new doors and finding fresh avenues for experimentation...and fun!
This is an intermediate level course, and students are expected to have a basic knowledge of programming concepts and the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, and Javascript. P5.js will be the main programming library for the course, a beginner-friendly Javascript framework.
Techniques covered in this course will include time and interaction-based CSS manipulation and animation on the web using variable font features.
