The brief

Sonder's typefaces are variable to the bone, yet their specimens were flat PDFs. They needed a site that let designers feel every axis before buying a licence.

The approach

Each family gets a live playground: drag across the page to move weight and width, type your own words, and export a test sheet. Under the hood, a small rendering engine keeps forty fonts responsive on a mid-range phone.

The result

The specimen became the sales pitch. Trials turn into licences far more often, and the playground gets passed around design communities every week.
