The effect is rather sudden, switching between weights instantly on hover. With variable fonts, though, it’s possible smooth the effect using a simple transition:

On a related note, some variable fonts also offer a “[grade](/glossary/grade_axis)” axis separate from (and often in addition to) the standard [weight](/glossary/weight_axis) axis. This allows for multiplexed adjustments to a typeface’s apparent weight even if its standard weight axis would otherwise affect spacing.

Finally, for other special interactive effects, keep in mind that `:hover` isn’t limited to just hyperlinks. For example, you can wrap arbitrary elements in their own `span` elements and use that for triggering hover effects. You can also tweak the timing of a transition to make it faster or slower:

Interactivity is a virtually infinite space for experience design, and variable fonts offer that much more room for exploration. For more ideas on using variable fonts, see the [other articles listed under the topic of variable fonts](https://fonts.google.com/knowledge/topics/variable_fonts).
