A variable font is a single font file that contains multiple styles and weights, made possible through OpenType font technology. Instead of loading separate files for bold, light, italic, or condensed styles, variable fonts interpolate across design axes (like weight, width, and slant) within one file. This results in greater typographic control, reduced page load times, and more responsive design capabilities.
