“Wonky” (WONK
in CSS) is an axis found in some variable fonts, and, like the italic axis, is binary. It’s used to control the substitution of “wonky” forms.
The Google Fonts CSS v2 API defines the axis as:
Default: | Min: | Max: | Step: |
---|---|---|---|
0 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
In the Fraunces typeface, setting wonky to “on” (1) introduces the quirkier leaning of the lowercase n/m/h upright characters, or the bulbous flags of the lowercase b/d/h/k/l italic characters. In static fonts, wonky is also available as an OpenType stylistic set.
In line with the current CSS spec, the four-character code for this axis should be referenced in UPPERCASE (as only the five axes registered in the OpenType format specification should appear in lowercase). Also, when using the Google Fonts API, the lowercase axes have to appear first in the URL, followed by the uppercase, each in alphabetical order.
