Ares is a broad-shouldered variable font of three axes, hovering in mid-air.

Ares is a crisp all-caps display typeface with a peculiar vibe owed to its angular, top-heavy glyphs that seem to hang from the cap-height rather than sit on the baseline. It screams futuristic yet whispers medieval.

Breakdown

The typeface comes in two flavors: the mostly solid-stroke Ares and the stencil Ares Broken which come as two variable font files with three variation axes: weight (1–1000), tracking (−40–0), and mid-height (0–1000).
The mid-height axis affects the typeface’s waistline — the height of its crossbars and the resulting proportions of the upper and lower parts of the letters. The static fonts comprise 60 styles divided into six subfamilies.

Tracking axis

The tracking (TRAK) axis affects not only the spacing and kerning of all glyphs, but also the width of the stencil gaps. Think of it as a manually controlled optical size axis that helps set the type more tightly with excellent results.
