After quickly looking at your file, a few things stand out.
You actually have 3 axes defined: Weight, Width, and Custom
Weight and Custom share the same values so it appears that the Custom axis is unnecessary
Even with just 2 axes, I believe you need at least 3 masters to make it work properly. For full control, you’d have 4 masters so you could define all of the extremes.
A 4 master set up would like like this:
Master 1: Light & Condensed
Master 2: Bold & Condensed
Master 3: Light & Wide
Master 4: Bold & Wide
In your case, it seems that the width axis isn’t actually necessary. As you increase weight, the letterforms naturally get wider, and so I question if your width axis isn’t extreme enough to justify it.
Thanks for your replay,
please look into the attached file “new file”,
actually, I have worked on more masters,
but even that I don’t know what is my mistakes,
I would appreciate you if you could do the corrections on the file,
Well, forgot about the design, I would like to understand the technic of creating a Variable Font.
Although It works perfectly on “Instance Slider”
thanks
For variable fonts the masters need to be on a rectangular grid. So for the first three the width needs to be the same and for the other two too. The Bold-Condensed has the same setting than the Bold master.
So you need to do:
Thin: 9/240
SemiLight: 28/240
Bold: 80/240 Thin Condensed:9/160
SemiLight Condensed: 28/160
Bold Condensed: 80/160
You need another master to make the space rectangular.
Perfect, works fine, only 2 things:
1- Why the font width on illustrator looks like fixed
2- Why the names on FontBook does not match the names on illustrator?
