Any articles or posts on custom variable font integration in Webflow projects?

TL;DR

Convert your variable font to .woff2, upload it via Project Settings > Fonts in Webflow.
Add a custom @font-face rule using the uploaded file URL in the site’s head or embed.
Apply the font using custom classes and CSS with font-family and font-variation-settings.
Use Webflow Designer for layout with fallback fonts, and style with your custom class.

Webflow does not currently support full native integration of custom variable fonts, but you can still implement them manually with a few workarounds. While Webflow doesn’t offer specific documentation or blog articles on this, here’s how you can achieve variable font support based on Webflow best practices and community resources.

1. Understand Variable Font Basics

Variable fonts contain multiple styles (weights, widths, etc.) in a single file by using axes.
These axes can be adjusted via CSS custom properties or font-variation-settings.

2. Upload Variable Font Files to Webflow

Convert your variable font to .woff2 format for web optimization (use tools like Transfonter or Font Squirrel).
Go to Project Settings > Fonts, then upload your .woff2 variable font under the Custom Fonts section.
Webflow doesn't handle @font-face rules directly, so you’ll need to write custom CSS.
