DEFINIZIONE

Un font variabile è un singolo file di font
che si comporta come più font*

Lo voglio di un bel VERDE SOFFICE.
Non un verde-blu come le uova del pettirosso,
ma neppure un verde-giallastro come i
boccioli del narciso.
Ora l’unico campione che ho qui
è un po’ troppo giallo, ma non vorrei che si
andasse all’estremo opposto e si facesse
troppo blu.
Dovrebbe essere una specie di
giallo-verde-grigiastro.
