I'm really delighted to announce that 🎂 `unifont` has turned 1.0 … and it finally has a home! ✨

`unifont` is an abstraction over google, adobe, bunny, fontshare, fontsource, npm + more - you can even build your own providers you: → ask for a family (with optional constraints) ← receive weights, styles, subsets, unicode ranges and `@font-face` data you can use everything is typed + cached

unifont.dev is meant to be both useful - as well as a showcase of what unifont can do. everything happens at runtime in your browser, from listing the catalogue to showing detail pages for each font, and rendering text in it 👉 it also has a small atproto integration using getair.space 👀

`fontaine` + `fontless` hit v1 this week too, and they are all designed to work together! ⚪ `unifont` reads the metadata ⚪ `fontaine` uses it to cut layout shift ⚪ `fontless` does the whole thing in vite w/ zero config ... plus, `@nuxt/fonts` v1 is coming out next, which wraps all three! 🔥

v1 also brings arbitrary variable axes, font metrics from providers - and it works in the browser too! thank you @qwerzl.me, @florian-lefebvre.dev, and many others who have made this release possible ❤️ let me know what you think! 🙏
