San Francisco is the only permitted CarPlay font because it is a variable font, which allows for a wide range of stylistic options. This flexibility includes qualities like weight, width (both extended and condensed), and the softness of the corners, all existing on a continuous scale. This means that instead of being limited to standard options like light, regular, or bold, any point between these qualities can be selected, providing a huge range of customization possibilities. This adaptability is crucial for creating a deeply customizable and integrated experience that can be tailored to the unique design philosophy of each automaker while maintaining a consistent and high-quality user experience.
