PROCESSO DE DESIGN DE FONTES VARIÁVEIS: AVALIAÇÃO DE UM FRAMEWORK

The advance digital tools has boosted the field of typography. It has also made the type design process more complex, accessible and unified. Thus, adopting a methodology or flow drives projects of this nature more consistently. This paper aims to evaluate the consistency, clarity, and applicability of an iterative, flexible, non-linear and customizable framework for the variable fonts design process. To this end, the framework was the evaluated in a type design course with thirty-two students to support the development of variable full-text fonts, based on observation and a survey. As a result, it was possible to highlight that the framework helps in the conduction of the aforementioned process and to reinforce the relevance of an adaptable framework for different contexts and project types.
