-        The variable font renders poorly in Chrome

-      There are some known issues with variable fonts in Chrome, in particular
-      on Microsoft Windows. You may see an effect similar to "ink bleed" where shapes overlap, for instance where the vertical and horizontal stems meet in "+" or "t".
-      On Windows you may in addition see incorrectly placed glyphs that looks like poor kerning (spacing between characters) and even some glyphs being lower or taller than other glyphs.
-      It is recommended to avoid using variable fonts on Chrome.
-      See the <a href="https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?can=2&q=variable+component%3ABlink%3EFonts">Chromium bug tracker</a> for a list of variable-font related issues.
