Variable Font / JavaScript / Generative Type

[HiImDaniel-type]

Hello guys, im Daniel, a graphic designer from Portugal ending my master degree about manipulation of variable fonts to produce kinetic typography experiments. Im creating this topic because my main ideia is to create a web system where the user can manipulate a variable font (that i created) and add some graphic elements (circles.. generative elements etc...) Since until now in p5.js the only way to add a variable font is through DOM elements, not on canvas, how on earth will i be able to add generative elements to a variable font ? Hope you can help me!

Have a good day!

Jolg42, is there any possibility with opentype.js and variablefont.js to get acess to the variable axes in p5.js ?
