Mona Sans Display styles and Mona Sans Mono

[kylewaynebenson]

This pull request introduces work from the last several months:

Mona Sans Mono

This is a mono companion across all upright weights in the regular width.

Mona Sans Weight Matching

Mona's weight has been dialed in to match a more expected appearance. The most significant changes were made to the regular weight.

Mons Sans Display (and opsz axis)

Last, and maybe biggest, is the addition of Display masters for all the upright styles of Mona Sans. The addition of an OPSZ axis means automatic better appearance across all sizes.

This is looking amazing @kylewaynebenson - my only gripe is renaming the VF into "VF" - I think this should be our default path (sans VF), but it's not a hill I'm going to die on

A lot of the reasoning in the Mona Mono brief are, kindly, "inaccurate".

The bold range clearly goes higher than the screenshot:

Matching SF Mono is a fairly arbitrary goal. And missing entirely is the fact that Monaspace offers five typographic variants for the same metrics.

Finally "not under our control" is a pretty strange thing to put in a brief when the people are right there in slack, and you didn't bother reaching out to talk with them.

@kylewaynebenson @tobiasahlin I'm jazzed for new releases, but this was not a great way to communicate about them.

Hi @idan! Im sorry if this came across as a critique. That PDF was not for the public. A mistake caused by a PR with a few too many changes bundled together. As you said, I'll send you a Slack and we can connect about the goals for Mona Sans.
