Skia is a humanist sans-serif typeface designed by Matthew Carter for Apple Computer in 1994.

Skia includes "GX variations" technology that–if an application offers the UI–allows its weight to be adjusted smoothly between thin and bold, and its width between narrow and extended.

(Adobe's "multiple master" technology was similar.)

In 2016 it was announced that several technology companies, including Google, Microsoft and Adobe, were adopting Apple's GX variations as the basis of the variations specification inside OpenType 1.8, and since that announcement Skia had been used to demonstrate the capabilities of the technology.
