Nice idea! I have heard of and seen some variable fonts at work in active gifs, but not in a sandbox setting. So I guess I am your target user ;-).

The demo works for me on Chrome, but not on Safari (12.0).

Firefox and Safari on Mac requires MacOS 10.13+ to display variable fonts. https://caniuse.com/#feat=variable-fonts

Agreed, nice site. On Windows 10, the sliders do not work in Firefox 62.0.3, and they do work in Chrome 69.

Works pretty well for me in FF mobile on Android, some sliders for visual size make the font grow as you decrease the size though.

Hadn't heard of this - I like the bevel and shadow example ... reminds me of titles in Flash ...
