Font-To-Width

>[Font‑To‑Width (FTW!)][link] is a script by Nick Sherman and Chris Lewis that takes advantage of large type families to fit pieces of text snugly within their containers.

Can definitely see using this for some datavis stuff. There is some FOUT (Flash of unstyled text) to deal with though.
