Fit Variable Font
Fit is one of the first typefaces available in the OpenType variable font format. This format allows multiple font styles to coexist within a single file, which can greatly improve loading performance while providing easy access to Fit’s entire range of widths.

This webpage uses Fit to responsively fit the content to the width of the website. Drag your window and see for yourself! Chris Lewis wrote the fancy Javascript that makes this happen.
PDF Specimen
Here’s a Fit PDF specimen for you to save and enjoy. In addition to showings and character sets, it has a full listing of Fit’s OpenType features and supported languages not shown on this page. Print wisely; I am not responsible for replacing ink cartridges that are emptied by printing Fit!

The Fine Print
Fit works best when used a few words at a time at enormous sizes. It is not recommended for setting any copy that you actually want people to read. Please use Fit responsibly!
