Very AI, and irritating.
Counterpoint: stretching fonts is commonly regarded as a typographic sin, and a condensed form of Georgia exists: <a href="https://carterandcone.com/font/georgia/" rel="nofollow">https://carterandcone.com/font/georgia/</a>
OT, but something I didn’t know is that if you go to Google, and type in “$FOO font”, it will render the entire results page in that font.<p>Of course I had to try Comic Sans, then Georgia, and I was only a little disappointed when it didn’t work for Wingdings.
I was on board until “fake a medium weight”… faux bold is one of my pet peeves.
How hard would it be to turn Georgia into a true variable axis font?

I never liked it that much. Yes, it came with WinXP and used it in my physics reports when I had no idea about LaTeX trying to emulate the Computer Modern look of them, but when I learned some LaTeX found out you could use a font that became one my favorite serif fonts ever, Cambria. I still use it from time to time with ConTeXt.
