About

BM Neon is an experimental font system that pushes the boundaries of our aesthetic and technological expectations of digital fonts. Using a tailored production pipeline that combines parametric drawing, variable font technology and the Opentype COLRv1 table, this system provides users with a total of three variable COLR font files: LINR, RADL and SWEP. Each file is built using a specific type of gradient, which can be manipulated via different variable axes, allowing for a multitude of visual results in both still and moving settings.

Using BM Neon is not as straightforward as a conventional font. As the COLRv1 table is only partially supported by font-rendering environments, it is crucial to be informed about the limitations of compatibility before purchasing a license. The use of variable technology might also be new to some: Find all information on how BM Neon works on the Tech page of this project.
