Refine heavy weights #9

Open Fuzzypeg opened 4 years ago

Improve glyph shapes in Heavy weights, which currently exaggerate the idiosyncrasies of the typeface too much. This is mainly needed for Gross and DisplayGross, though some PearlGross glyphs may benefit from a little extra width. Strokes were in part determined by automated extrapolation from hairline through regular weights. They've had some cleanup but I still feel that there's too much dynamic contrast and weird twistiness in the gross weights, so further refinement is needed to give them a more restful feel.
