Description

I really like to use small caps variants when available as they blend well with lower case text without having to adjust sizes to work with true caps. I'm sure this won't be a huge priority, but wanted to get the feature request in :)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research how small caps are implemented in variable fonts, study the Inter font source (e.g., UFO or Glyphs files), and propose a method to generate small caps glyphs, possibly using automated tools for consistency.
