Feature request: Text Weight (450) for High-DPI (Retina) Display users
The Regular weight renders too thinly on high-DPI displays (e.g. 4K, 5k), especially for Mac and Linux users. The Medium weight is too heavy.
Provide a Text Weight (e.g. Monaspace Neon Text), in between Regular (400) and Medium (500), with a weight of 450 for users with high dpi displays.
Examples of other fonts with a "Text" Weight:
IBM Plex Sans Text IBM Plex Serif Text IBM Plex Code Text
Fira Code Retina (https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/872)
Are you using a program that supports variable fonts? This would allow you to have finer control of the font weight yourself. You can also download the open source glyphs file and add your own custom weight instance that way, if you can't use variable fonts.
