You can use font-stretch
to select a stretched or stretched font among these fonts. This property has no effect if the font you are using does not provide a compressed or expanded font.

Google Fonts' user interface currently still prefers static/single-weight CSS output.
But you can manually force the API to output the @font-face
rules for variable fonts:
https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inconsolata:wdth,wght@50..200,200..900
It is important to use '..' as the range separator - otherwise you will end up with a CSS containing multiple static woff2
file URLs.
Additionally, Google's API uses some user-agent detection (also known as browser sniffing) to provide backwards compatibility (for browsers that do not support variable fonts). This makes sense... Unfortunately, this doesn't work very well: some browsers like Opera (which supports VF perfectly) also receive static fonts. (This may also work for other Chromium/Blink based browsers)
As a workaround, I recommend opening the above CSS URL in Firefox. The result should look similar to:
@font-face { font-family: 'Inconsolata'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 200 900; font-stretch: 50% 200%; src: url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/inconsolata/v31/QldKNThLqRwH-OJ1UHjlKGlZ5qg.woff2) format('woff2'); }
Note that font-weight
and font-stretch
attribute values contain 2 values, indicating the range of weight/width. This is a good indicator that you've acquired the correct (variable) rules.
@font-face {
font-family: "Inconsolata";
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 200 900;
