Variable Fonts Workshop Student Work Showcase

The Variable Fonts Workshop was a 4-week course taught at Rhode Island School of Design from 2023–2024. No Replica founder Gabriel Drozdov created and taught the course, during which students designed original variable fonts and remixed versions of open-source fonts. In addition to the course, we developed a website that enabled students to test their fonts. The site also functions as an ongoing showcase of student work from the course.

For the site, No Replica drew inspiration from hardware for creating music. Students can use an oscillator to see their fonts in motion, with six distinct waveform presets that control the direction and easing of the resulting animation.
