Variable Fonts - Android O Demo

In this sample app, variable fonts are loaded up and some of their properties changed at runtime.

What is a variable font?

A variable font allows you to specify certain attributes of a font at runtime. Which means you do not need to package multiple font files, therefore saving download size.

Benefits of Variable Fonts

  • Smaller File size to download
  • More options baked into a single font
  • More powerful font specifications

Gotchas

  • Variable Fonts are only available on Android O and are not yet a part of the Support Library.
  • If you are animating the font between settings, this may cause performance issues
