Using the variable font on the web

@font-face {
  font-family: "Circle Sans";
  src: url("CircleSans[wght].woff2") format("woff2-variations");
  font-weight: 100 900;
}

The long-stem g and the open ampersand are the defaults — no
font-feature-settings needed. fi and ff are standard ligatures, and
[drip] or U+E000 gives the Coffee Circle mark. ss02 gives the
original g, ss04 the original ampersand.

Changes

Circle Sans now derives from Albert Sans 1.25 instead of 1.31. The team's documents were
set in Albert Sans 1.025 all along, and Albert Sans 1.3 — the base of every Circle Sans
1.x — was not a kerning touch-up: it respaced every one of the 405 shared glyphs (a Thin
H went from 681 to 745 units, a Medium comma from 285 to 207), moved the masters, and
grew the kerning from ~107 pairs per master to ~9,200. Coffee Circle at Regular ran
3.6 % tighter than before, and InDesign documents reflowed. On every glyph this fork does
not touch, v2.0 shapes identically to the installed Albert Sans 1.025 - advance for
advance, pair for pair - checked by shaping the same text through both.
The four changes carry over: the −52° Q tail, cut afresh from the 1.25 O in all eight
masters; the long-stem g and the open ampersand as defaults, with the 1.25 originals in
ss02 and ss04 (now named Original short-stem g and Original ampersand in the
feature menu); the ff, assembled again from the 1.25 fi and f; and the drip mark,
unchanged, since it never depended on the base.
Gone with the base: the Narrow width and the wdth axis, and the 140 glyphs 1.3 added -
tabular figures, superiors and inferiors, fraction numerators and denominators, arrows,
combining marks and a few letters (Ħ, Ĳ, ẞ). With them go the tnum, pnum,
subs, sinf, numr, dnom and ss06 features. None were in use.
The v1.6 digit-to-separator kerning fix is moot: 1.25 never kerned digits against the
comma or the period.
File names lose the width axis: CircleSans[wght].ttf, CircleSans-Italic[wght].woff2.
The installer, the specimen and the release workflow follow.
The sources are now generated by scripts/derive-from-albert-sans.py from the upstream
1.25 files rather than edited by hand, and stay in Glyphs format 2 like upstream: a
glyphsLib round trip of that format rebuilds Albert Sans 1.25 table for table.
Circle Sans 1.x installs are replaced by the installer as usual. Documents set in 1.x
reflow once more - back to where they were in Albert Sans 1.025.

Nine weights (Thin to Black) in two widths (Normal and Narrow), roman and italic.

Using the variable font on the web

@font-face {
  font-family: "Circle Sans";
  src: url("CircleSans[wdth,wght].woff2") format("woff2-variations");
  font-weight: 100 900;
  font-stretch: 87.5% 100%;
}

The long-stem g and the open ampersand are the defaults — no
font-feature-settings needed. Figures are proportional; add
font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums on price columns and numbers that
update in place. ss02 gives the original g, ss04 the original ampersand.

Changes

Digits no longer kern against the comma and the period. Albert Sans 1.3 rebuilt its
kerning and tucked both separators under the overhang of a 7 or 9 — 9, is −102 and
7. −111 at Bold, −125 at Black — and pulled the following 1 in under the comma. In a
price at 18 px the comma sat 2.6 px from the 9's tail instead of 5.4, and 9,90 € read as
one shape.
The 57 group pairs per master between the ten digit classes and comma, comma.ss01 and
period are gone, in all twelve masters, roman and italic, both comma styles. 342 entries
per source, nothing else touched.
Only pairs where a digit meets a separator change. e, r, y, and every other
letter-to-comma pair keep their values, as do digit-to-digit pairs, so a sentence is spaced
as before and only its numbers open up.
The comma itself is untouched. Its bounding box shows a negative left sidebearing, but that
is the tail tip below the baseline, where no digit has ink; shifting it would only open
every letter-to-comma pair by the same amount.
First spacing change since the fork; all earlier changes were to outlines or features.
