Variable Font
What is Variable Font?
Variable Fonts are a modern advancement in Typography that consolidates what used to be several different font files (e.g., thin, regular, bold) into one single, smaller file.
Why Variable Fonts Matter in Performance and Design?
Using Variable Fonts is a major win for both the design aesthetic and the technical Page Speed of a website.
- Performance: They dramatically reduce the number of HTTP requests and the total file size of fonts, which is critical for Asset Optimization and a high Lighthouse Score.
- Design Control: They allow for subtle, precise Typography adjustments that reinforce the high-end Brand Identity.
- Efficiency: They are a Technical SEO and performance best practice.
Example from Flowtrix Projects

By replacing multiple individual font files with one streamlined file, we guarantee the lightning-fast loading required for a high Lighthouse Score, while still providing the granular Typography control necessary for a Pixel Perfect Brand Identity.
