Creating parametric variable fonts with xTools4

draft

Phase I

• Creating a quadratic default font
• Creating a controller object to build and manage the designspace
• Creating a measurements file
• Creating parametric sources from a default font
• Setting source names from measurements
• Building a parametric designspace from measurements
• Blending a typographic designspace from parametric axes

Phase II

• Splitting a parametric axis into multiple sub-axes

Phase III

• Fine-tuning the blended designspace with corner sources
