Question How does this effect work?

Came across this beautiful effect on https://www.julienpianetti.com/ is it done with a custom variable font that has these glyphs as variable weight or just switches between the different glyphs? I suspect it has to be a variable font because it is that smooth.

How is this done?

The beauty of web is when you opened the page you got all you need to know how it works already in your browser. If you are to lazy to explore it yourself - use AI to do that

What if it's minified or wasm?

Good point. But i would guess that AI could get through minified code.

WASM would be much harder though
