# Welcome to the Variable Lab documentation!
|
# Variable Time
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Variable Lab is a collaborative research endeavour of media artists and developers studio Pointer* and type designer Céline Hurka.
|
Variable Time is a tool for working with variable text in motion and states of transition.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Together they are exploring the new ways in which variable fonts can facilitate written communication.
|
### About
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Variable font technology is relatively recent and is slowly gaining more attention in the design community. We believe it is currently under-explored despite its novelty and significant potential in communication. A variable letterform is a fluid shape with defined extremes and infinite variations. This feature introduces a (time-based) flexibility that can be applied in static and dynamic designs. Such variability can create new layers of information and enrich the reading experience in a wide range of ways. Imagining and implementing those possibilities will be the primary subject of our collective research.

It is developed by artist duo and creative coders studio Pointer\* [→ web](https://pointer.click) [→ ig](https://instagram.com/pointer_studio) in collaboration with type designer Céline Hurka [→ web](https://celine-hurka.com/) [→ ig](https://www.instagram.com/celinehurka). Variable Time is a personal project, which is a part of Variable Lab [→ web](https://variablelab.pointer.click/) [→ ig](https://instagram.com/variablelab) - a series of technical, typographic, visual and theoretical exchanges between studio Pointer\*, Celine Hurka and their various collaborators. The toolset of Variable Time will be growing with new experimental features alongside their ongoing research.

### This Documentation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The aim of this documentation is to explain the current functionality.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is possible that there are features in the tool available, which are not documented here. But all features that are documented here, should work. If you stumble up on either a bug in the tool, or confusing/erroneous part in the documentation, please [→ write to us](mailto:studio@pointer.click). Apart from that, this documentation is very much work in progress. Links that look like this link to existing pages. Links that look like this can be seen as a hint for a page that might be called into existence in the future.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Philosophy
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Even though we are creating this tool and experiments mainly for ourselves, we want it to be accessible to everyone. So we decided to make it free to use. Furthermore, we made it open source and contributed to various open source projects in the course of its creation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### More
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
No, nothing more for now. Please, explore the documentation and the tool itself. We hope you'll love it!
