Fluctuation was developed by Ray Larabie and released by Typodermic. Variation includes 12 designs and family plan choices. p > Rather than relying on pure geometry or typographic custom for inspiration, Change brings into play the very objects it plans to balance with: consumer electronics. Leading edge phones, cameras, remotes, video game controllers and synthesizers offered fuel for Variation's development. It's more than simply a squarish sans: each design choice was informed by modern gadgets.

In years past, the square M N and W shapes were used for plain, futuristic result. These letterforms were at one time, considered an obstacle to readability. Today, generations of eyes have been acclimated to them from computer game and low resolution screens; now they can mix smoothly into a paragraph.

The broad topped, lancet arched A, permits less distortion in the much heavier weights; the common thinning and lowering of the crossbar trick isn't necessary, nor is the squaring and flattening of the point. The lancet arch correlates with the stroke of the R and requires less kerning that a triangular A.

Avoiding the flattened points was key to enabling a pointy Z, K and 7. All the sharp points have actually been somewhat chamfered. The chamfers aren't implied to be observed, they're implied to convey a little durability. In customer electronics, even sharp corners aren't really razor sharp when you get in close.
