Awkward gap between capital A and lowercase m #259

Describe the bug

In using this font (which I love), I've noticed that there is a noticeable gap between capital A and lowercase m. This leads to ambiguity when writing the word "Amass".

Here is what the word looks like with Public Sans:

gap

Here is a tweak to reduce the gap. IMO this improves readability:

fixed

It may be worth looking at the gap for other letters that follow capital A as well. A few of them (p, b), have a similar gap, but it doesn't seem to be as pronounced as for m.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Type "Amass".

Expected Behavior

A smaller gap.
