Flipbook-style animation, but it’s actually a variable font

Wow! This might be be super useful for the side project i‘m working on rn! Could you elaborate on how this is done or link me some resources?:)

Sure, it’s basically just using the `rvrn` (Required Variation Alternates) feature to substitute glyphs at different points along the `TIME` axis. Each glyph contains one frame of the animation — not super efficient (there’s a lot of duplicated paths), but pretty straightforward!
