## What Pivot Sans adds

- A money-aware OpenType `tnum` grid. The digits 0–9 and the currency signs
  `$`, `£`, `¥`, `₹`, and `€` share one advance at a given weight, across
  upright and italic. Default figures and currencies remain proportional.
- Encoded, weight-aware composite symbols: `‰` U+2030, `≈` U+2248,
  `≠` U+2260, `≤` U+2264, and `≥` U+2265.
- Locale-targeted variable WOFF2 slices for Latin Core, Latin Extended, and
  Vietnamese, with explicit disjoint Unicode ranges.
- Custom static instances at weights 450 and 550, upright and italic.
- Preserved Inclusive Sans `ss01` reading alternates for single-storey `a`
  and `g`, including accented forms.
- A default-off `ss02` set adds a foot to lowercase `l` for disambiguating
  account IDs, tokens, code, and data registers. It covers `l`, `ĺ`, `ļ`,
  `ľ`, `ŀ`, `ł`, `ḷ`, and `ḻ`, upright and italic, across the full weight
  axis. It preserves source advances and should remain off in ordinary prose.
- Independent family metadata, corrected clipping bounds, deterministic
  builds, release checksums, and extensive regression QA.
