Basically every problematic pair with one of the letters being uppercased

Tu in Tufte

Pl in Please

We in Webpages

Al in Also

Punctuatuion symbols as in

Finally,

Markdown’s

As for small caps, on apple this is really bad “In his later books”

List goes on

Cursive in “as close as possible” has stroke width not matching the regular font. In regular font uppercased letters have thicker strokes than lowercased.

It’s really on OCD level triggering event to read that text.

And to make it even more whacky, even that is not consistent. Dave, Markdown, and Github are fine, to name a few. It's like two letters can't share the same space - whatever the word for that is (kerning?).

Heh you're right, it is bad. I don't see it on "Please", "Also", and the small caps, but agree with the rest.
