Proper design of the italics in the Aile variant. #903

For some reason, the italics of the Aile variant uses non-cursive letterforms instead of the usual cursive ones. (Kinda like Input Sans, I think?) I don't think that this is far too controversial for me, but it looks very annoying to see this!

Aile's style is chosen to look close to neo-grotesque sans-serifs, so not having cursive italics is by design. Closed.

If that's so then some glyphs need some touching up.

I think the lowercase k and y are still cursive in the aile variant (they look kinda wacky) when they should be plain and straight.
