That's cool. Are you planning on releasing a variable font?

I think next time I do this I would like to start with a variable font, for now, this one works for the use cases where it makes sense ✌️

I tend to use variable typefaces if the will be switching between modes on the web. A regular can be too strong on dark mode. So I usually tweak the weight down. Hehe, well, maybe it's because I'm also using solid colors instead of toning down color of secondary text.
