This release refines the weights of quotation marks in the “Sans” styles of Recursive, especially at lighter weight values.
Previously, these quotation glyphs '"“”‘’„‚ were a relatively heavy weight, adopting the aesthetic of bold punctuation common in monospace fonts (included Recursive Mono). However, the degree of heaviness proved somewhat distracting in text, so this release tones that down a bit to improve readability. Now, quotation marks better match the visual weight of other glyphs. This is most visible at the Light styles (Weight: 300), but also impacts Regular and Medium weights, including Slanted/Italic styles.
Monospace punctuation remains unchanged, as heavy punctuation is useful in fixed-width fonts.
