When a user enters their name, Baby Names automatically generates an animation that adjusts the height of each letter to match the trend line of the name's popularity from the 1930s to the current day.
Douïeb says one of his main goals with the tool was to explore the possibilities presented by dynamic fonts, which have recently found favor with a number of influential designers.
The variable font is a relatively new development in the typographic world, and I'm fascinated by what it offers to creative people like me.
The visualization uses the Flexible Variable Font by Stéphane Mattern, one of few variable fonts that have adjustable height in addition to weight or size.
