8/8 — Smart behaviors
The details you don’t expect: the colon auto-centers vertically with figures when you type a time like 9:41. The em dash does the same in ranges. Math symbols and brackets detect equation context and align themselves.
Dozens of small behaviors like this. The kind of polish you feel before you notice.
7/8 — Alternates
11 character alternates: G without spur, tailed a, single-storey a, double-storey g, open figures, and more.
Mix and match to dial the personality exactly where you need it. One font family, countless brand voices.
