I'm surprised to see a new brand font in nearly-2024 that doesn't have variable axes.* * https://fonts.google.com/knowledge/introducing_type/introducing_variab

  The font is almost 4 years old at this point.

        Was that public or announced or the final typeface though? Why would Reddit say they're announcing this now, otherwise?

          Reddit has been using these fonts internally for a few years in their marketing. They were not available to the public. They have been made available this week, hence the announcement. (The Github repo was made public a few weeks ago in preparation for adding them to the Google Fonts service.)

  There is some work to do still[1], but a variable version will probably be available once the fonts are released on the Google Fonts service. [1]: https://github.com/google/fonts/issues/6812 https://github.com/google/fonts/issues/6812
