Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Fredoka a variable font?

Fredoka is a variable font with 2 design axes (wdth, wght). Instead of loading separate files for each weight, a single variable file lets you use any weight from 300 to 700 — or any value in between — reducing HTTP requests and improving page load speed.

Which languages does Fredoka support?

Fredoka supports 3 language subsets including hebrew, latin, latin-ext. This extensive coverage makes it an excellent choice for multilingual websites, international applications, and projects that need consistent typography across different writing systems.

Is Fredoka free for commercial use?

Yes. Fredoka is distributed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which permits unlimited use in personal and commercial projects — including websites, apps, print materials, and merchandise — without fees or attribution requirements.

How does Fredoka compare to system fonts for web performance?

While system fonts load instantly with zero network cost, Fredoka's variable format keeps the file size compact. Using font-display: swap ensures text is visible immediately while the font loads. The trade-off is worthwhile when brand consistency across devices matters more than the few milliseconds of load time.

What CSS font-variation-settings work with Fredoka?

You can use font-variation-settings to access Fredoka's axes: 'wdth' (undefined–undefined), 'wght' (undefined–undefined). For weight, the simpler font-weight property also works: font-weight: 450 gives you a custom weight between Regular and Medium.
