Is there a way to create variables for axes like width, grade, and slant? Or is the new typography variable support currently limited to the following:

→ Font family
→ Font weight and style
→ Font size
→ Line height
→ Letter spacing
→ Paragraph spacing and indent

Hey @Erin_Standley ,
Thanks for reaching out to the community! This is not possible at this moment.
I’ve gone ahead and switched your topic as a ’ Share an Idea’ so you can vote up for your idea here.

This would really be necessary for me to use Typography Variables in a good way!

I need this as well. We use variables for buidling our different brand websites and one brand leverages a variable typeface while the others do not. Please ass the ability to add variables to the variable axes in Figma

Plus one – I need this for internationalization to use condensed weights for verbose languages. Seems like a no brainer to pass a number variable to the variable axes!
