Automated propagation of glyph edits to corresponding adornment

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions, which when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining an indication to modify a variable font property value associated with a glyph of a variable font;
• identifying an adornment is attached to the glyph at an anchor point;
• determining a new position of the anchor point based on edit to the glyph in accordance with the modified variable font property value;
• determining an edit to apply to the adornment that aligns the adornment with the new position of the anchor point;
• and
• applying the edit to the adornment.

A system comprising:

• a memory component;
• and
• a processing device coupled to the memory component, the processing device to perform operations comprising:
• causing presentation, via a user interface, of an adornment attached to a glyph at an anchor point;
• obtaining, via the user interface, a modification to a variable font property value of a variable font associated with the glyph;
• and
• causing presentation, via the user interface, of an edited adornment and an edited glyph modified in scale or translation based on a new position of the anchor point that reflects the modified variable font property value.
