Dear typographers of Mastodon:

Do any variable fonts exist which support both italics and obliques, in the same font?

(This is not a challenge to go make one. I'm also not assuming that intermediate forms (ugh!) would exist; just that the one font could produce either on demand).

Please boost for reach; #css would like good data before designing solutions to non-existent problems.

Comments welcome at

Es geht nicht nur um Sprache.
