Typing and typefaces

Set in Fraunces

Two things that share a word. A typing test that pulls its sentences from my own posts, and the settings for Fraunces, the font the headings here are set in.

Typing test

The words are taken at random from my posts. Start typing and the clock starts. Space moves to the next word; Shift+Enter or Escape starts over.

The font

Fraunces is a variable font, so a few of its properties can be moved continuously rather than picked from a handful of styles. These are the ones the headings on this site use.

Learning out loud

The italic is a separate font file, not a slanted copy of the roman.

How much the thick and thin strokes differ. Low is built for reading, high for headings.

How heavy the strokes run.

Rounds off the ends of strokes. This site leaves it at 0.

Swaps in the odder alternate letterforms.

The settings above look different at different sizes.

The slight tilt the headings here use.
