Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's font sources and build setup to determine how a variant could be defined. Compare the existing xkcd font's spacing with the proposed traditional-feel variant; done means a distributable xkcd-script-text build that preserves the existing image in xkcd mode.

Description

If development continues in the direction of tightening the kerning, how about at some point creating a font variation called xkcd-script-text that retains the traditional feel?
I'm thinking of it like the relationship between SF Pro Display and SF Pro Text. It would be positioned as a build for those who, in xkcd-mode, don't want to significantly change the existing image.
