New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Dear Forum
this is my first post here!
I have a little question: I’m currently creating a font which contains 3 different widths for each character.
Imagine condensed, normal, extended.
Is it, and how, possible to let the typeface itself change, or say randomly pick, one of these 3 possible widths while i’m typing it in inDesign? In heard that some handwriting typefaces apply such glyph-exchange-techniques to not let the typeface appear to stiff in a larger text.
Any help or further reading is very much appreciated!
best wishes
Johannes
