This release updates the variable axes to align with the Google Fonts Axis Registry, which just recently newly merged definitions for Bounce, Informality, and Spacing. Specific changes to Shantell Sans:

  • The former “Tracking” axis is now called ”Spacing”
    • It goes from 0 (default spacing) to 100 (max spacing), rather than the previous maximum value of 500. The design of the maximum hasn’t changed; it is merely now expressed as a percentage-based scale, rather than in units per em.
  • The former “Irregularity” axis (IRGL) is now called “Informality” (INFM)
    • Its range stays the same: 0 (Normal) to 100 (Informal)

This release also fixes an issue where triangle glyphs (▲△▶▷▼▽◀◁▴▵▸▹▾▿◂◃) weren’t quite shifting as expected along the Bounce axis.
