About V-Fonts
V-Fonts (Variable Fonts) is a showcase site for finding and trying variable fonts in a web browser. Font samples are rendered live, so the letterforms respond to the variable axes of each typeface when the browser supports OpenType font variation technology. The site notes that without such support the samples appear only as static fonts, and it suggests the latest Chrome versions, which it says work even on older operating systems.
Each listing presents a sample along with metadata such as tags, designer, publisher, character coverage, release date and licensing. Licensing is indicated per font, with entries marked open source, paid/commercial, trial or a combination, and each entry links to an external publisher or foundry page where the font itself is obtained.
