Could you build this?
No Converting static fonts into variable fonts in the browser requires specialized digital typography expertise, computational geometry algorithms, and low-level OpenType table compilation.
What it would actually take: A real implementation requires compiling low-level font manipulation engines (like fonttools or custom Rust/C++ OpenType parsers) to WebAssembly. The hard part is algorithmic contour manipulation—synthesizing compatible glyph outlines across weight and width axes through curve offsetting without introducing self-intersections or topology mismatches, followed by compiling valid binary 'fvar' and 'gvar' tables. This requires deep domain expertise in type design mathematics and font file specifications.
