Future plans

In order to facilitate easy dissemination and distribution of content to document the development of these two styles, at present, BioRhyme is a small family, but it is my intention to build this out, and indeed if you look in the Glyphs files in GitHub you will see instances and masters set up for interpolation of other weights and widths. For now though, this is just a limited release focused on the process rather than the product.
