Description

Hubot Sans has the `ital` axis range set to 0 to 10, whereas the convention of `ital` axis ([MDN], [OpenType]), the range is set to 0 to 1.

Firefox uses `ital=1` on a variable font when CSS specifies `font-family: italic;`, which renders an almost illegible slant instead of the expected italic style.
