👋 Hi Andy,

First of all lovely work, as always.
I've been digging into some small details in your examples, i know you are still working on them, but the first thing thats bugging me is the descender space on the Monte Stella font when using uppercase. Something we can't deal with using just line-height.

The font is beautiful, but its messing with the spacing everywhere.

It's even more noticeable in buttons, where the text does not vertically align. Adding different bottom padding values for a quick fix will just start to create complexity in the system, IMHO.

Also in inline-flex aligned forms like the "Free Quote" on the business page—the label, input and button aren't vertically aligned. The form elements should have the same spacing/size too.

I did some changes with dev tools on the live front page using Anton, which is only available in regular weight, still not perfect but much better alignment.

I used small caps and capitals to small caps features instead of uppercase.

font-feature-settings: "smcp", "c2sc";
