Meridian
Drag an axis. The name above moves with it. This is the variable file, live, nothing pre-rendered.
The foundry proofs every glyph at the meridian of pressure.

A grotesque drawn for the line between cold and warm.
Meridian was drawn over two winters as a working grotesque that could carry a whole identity on its own. At text size the terminals soften; at display size they cut. The width axis runs from a tabloid-narrow 25 to a hoarding-wide 151, so one file does the masthead and the caption.
