everyone is obsessed with the flexibility of variable fonts but we are losing the core identity of unique typefaces. it feels like every brand is gravitating toward a single, hyper-adjustable sans serif that can scale from thin to black without breaking the layout. this trend makes web design feel monotonous and stripped of any real character.
>designing for efficiency shouldn't mean designing for uniformity.
we are basically just making every website look like the same generic template . i miss when choosing a font meant making a difficult,distinctive choice rather than just sliding a weight axis on a scale. we should stop prioritizing computational ease over true visual hierarchy.

ngl the problem isn't the tech, it's that designers are using the weight axis as a crutch to avoid learning actual typographic hierarchy. instead of picking a secondary typeface for contrast, people just crank the
font-weight
up to 900 and call it a day.
>efficiency is killing curation

we should be using these axes to fine-tune optical sizing rather than just letting the css automate every single responsive breakpoint.
