Undesired kerning offset appears with bolder thicknesses #39

First off, I just want to say good job on this font. It's coming along rather nicely.

I've noticed some kerning offset gradually appearing between certain characters as the font gets bolder. Notice the i's spacing progressively getting unbalanced between the two bordering t's: image image

I'm no typographer so I don't know how I could help, but I thought I'd point this out as it can sometimes become pretty apparent with headings (and kerning can be troublesome to fix at specific places when using the font for web)

Hi, thanks for filing an issue! Definitely not intentional and this was fixed in PR #34. The fix is included in the latest release.

The version on Google Fonts may not be updated for some time unfortunately. Feel free to let me know if you spot any other issues!
