Bitcount
The library lists Bitcount together with five more families that share a designer with it and either its name or its measurements. It has five variable axes; ten other families in the library have as many or more. Its Cursive axis (CRSV) appears in only seven other families. It carries true small capitals, a feature present in 179 of the 1,899 families.
