#### Description
140
+
141
+
Creates and returns a Property object for a variable font axis, and adds it to this property group. This method can only be called on the "ADBE Text Animator Properties" property group within a text animator.
142
+
143
+
Common axis tags include (but are not limited to):
144
+
145
+
-`"wght"` - Weight (100-900 typical range)
146
+
-`"wdth"` - Width (percentage of normal width)
147
+
-`"slnt"` - Slant (angle in degrees)
148
+
-`"ital"` - Italic (0-1 range)
149
+
-`"opsz"` - Optical Size (point size)
150
+
151
+
Fonts may also include custom axes with 4-character uppercase tags (e.g., `"INFM"` for Informality).
152
+
153
+
#### Variable Font Spacing
154
+
155
+
When animating Variable Font axes, individual characters can change width. The Variable Font Spacing property (found in the "More Options" section of a text animator) controls how After Effects handles character spacing compensation for these width changes.
156
+
157
+
The Variable Font Spacing property can be accessed via its matchName `"ADBE Text Variable Font Spacing"` and is a dropdown control property. This property appears only when at least one variable font axis is active in the animator.

Axes must exist on the font to have any impact. To discover what axes a font supports, use [FontObject.designAxesData](../text/fontobject.md#fontobjectdesignaxesdata).
