Help using new "Weight Variables" for our variable font


Greg_Soper

Type variable are neat, but they arent meeting the needs of our current set of text styles. Reposting my unanswered question from the announcement thread.

Would love some help - curious if anyone else is running into this too

Really excited to incorporate these into our design system.

We are using a variable font - I haven’t found a way to apply both font weight and font width via these new variables yet - any tips?

I know I could use a string to specify a named font pre-set, but none of our weight + width combos line up with any of the packaged font styles…

So we’re reliant on specifying both weight and width via setting both values individually.

To illustrate, rather than any of the named presets above we’re using these oddball combos. Haven’t figured out how to get the variable to accept these as values.
