My 2022 in variable fonts

As posted here regarding recent discussions about variable fonts, I offer these personal stats.

In 2022, I published or co-published five variable fonts.

Three through Font of the Month Club, currently starting at $24:

• Nickel Gothic (wdth)
• Gimlet Sans (opsz, wght, ital)
• Warbler (opsz)

Two co-published multi-script variable expansions:

• Fit Devanagari, designed by Kimya Gandhi (wdth; €49)
• Roslindale Cyrillic, designed by Jovana Jocić (opsz, wght, ital; $150)

In 2021, the count was six.

I can only speak for myself, but not much of a slowdown over here, not too many “toy fonts” (aside from Fit), and hopefully accessibly priced (discounted licenses are also available).

Also, all of my major families are available as variable fonts, except for Turnip and Input which are hopefully coming in 2023.
