Downloading Glide version 1.1

https://github.com/mblode/glide/releases/download/v1.1/Glide-1.1.zip

Glide is open source. Star the repo on GitHub to support the project.


Installation instructions

  1. 1Extract the Glide zip archive.
  2. 2Open the Font Book application.
  3. 3In the main menu, select File → Add Fonts…
  4. 4Select glide-variable.ttf and glide-variable-italic.ttf and press Open.
  5. Alternatively, move or copy the font files directly into ~/Library/Fonts/

Variable font files

Glide ships as a variable font — glide-variable.ttf (roman) and glide-variable-italic.ttf (italic) . Variable fonts let you dial any weight from 100 (Thin) to 950 (Extra Black) on a continuous axis, using a single file instead of separate files per weight. A static glide-mono.ttf monospace is included too.

Variable font support is excellent in all modern desktop applications and browsers.


Web use

For web projects, use the WOFF2 variable font files. Download glide-variable.woff2 and glide-variable-italic.woff2 and place them in your project's public/ directory, then add:

app/globals.css
@font-face {
  font-family: 'GlideVariable';
  src: url('/glide-variable.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 100 950;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}
@font-face {
  font-family: 'GlideVariable';
  src: url('/glide-variable-italic.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 100 950;
  font-style: italic;
  font-display: swap;
}
:root {
  font-family: GlideVariable, sans-serif;
}
