Fit is designed to fit
Just about any text
Into just about any space
Fit at different widths; Thanks Lucas de Groot for the cool interpolation theory!

FIT is a hyper-stylized series of caps designed with one thing in mind: filling up space with maximum impact.

To accomplish this task, I drew Fit as a variable font with an expansive range of widths, represented by the ten styles shown here. Beginning with the impossibly narrow Skyline style, each character grows by 3600% (on average) to reach the gargantuan Ultra Extended. In between these ridiculous extremes, you will find a family rich in panache and expressive potential.

Fit is anchored by its white shapes: regardless of width, the space within the letters and the space between the letters always remains the same. These white shapes cut dramatically through the letterforms, fusing them into a mesmerizing network of black and white.

variable font

Fit Variable Font

Fit is one of the first typefaces available in the brand new 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.

Although widespread support for variable fonts is still forthcoming, I am excited to play with this technology early in the game, and I hope that Fit will serve as a useful demonstration of its possibilities. I’ll keep developing the variable font as the technology progresses, and you can rest assured that the non-variable versions (10 fonts in the basic family and 1001 instance fonts) will do great work for you in the mean time.

This webpage

This webpage uses Fit to responsively fit the content to the width of the website. Drag your window and see for yourself! If your browser supports OpenType Variations, it all happens with the single variable font, saving you lots of kilobytes. If your browser does not support variations yet, the webpage chooses the best font from Fit’s 1001 instance fonts and loads them as needed. Chris Lewis wrote the fancy Javascript that makes this happen.

fine print

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!
