Designing systems with variable fonts

“Graphic design” is a big word. I learned over the years that what we do is more than just a logotype, a web page, or a font, what we create is a system, and design is the process.
In this talk we will explore fonts as design and computer systems, and how the latest variable font technology can help us organize and create more simple and efficient structures.
