Adobe Fonts - how to pull in Presets (weights, widths) of a variable font?

[TomLD]

Hey guys,

I am using a variable font from Adobe Fonts with Bricks’ integration via project ID.

This variable font has 36 instances of Presets - 100 thru 900 weights, various widths for semi-condensed, condensed, narrow…all titled usefully.

After syncing the variable font to Bricks, I’m presented with only 2 defined weights (400 & 500 in the dropdown selector) and no defined Preset width styles like “Condensed” etc.

To use a variable font in the way many users would expect, we would receive at least the weight definitions and ideally the various Presets - this is what happens in Adobe apps, and in Figma.

I see this post details a long-winded way of setting up Presets for a variable font, but it requires that we can download the font file. With Adobe Fonts it’s not an option.

Am I missing something crucial or obvious?

Is there a similar method I can use, or some CSS I can include, or any solution for Adobe Variable Fonts other than manually typing Font variation settings directly in Bricks Typography that override the selectable weights?

Cheers,
Tom

To add to this, just noticed that when Bricks considers the variable font the default, it provides weight presets:

But once the variable font is selected (required in some Bricks Style settings where the default doesn’t occur like above) those options change to:

Not sure if relevant, or if this should be in feature requests / bug reports instead of how-to - sorry moderators
