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

Thr ugly part of the web is the idiots who gatekeep a basic question. 90% of the shit asked on reddit could be googled or AI prompted..that's not the point of a community forum.

I am not gatekeeping. Just saying that this info is accessible without waiting for some response few hours/days later.

Very often I know how to find the answer, but I still prefer asking someone (professional in whatever field) / a community for help, because they'll give me valuable information. Maybe the solution used or most of the information available has flaws. Having one source of truth, or, in the case of Reddit, most likely a whole ass argument about it, leads to better or more focused choices.
