    Hello, type people. We’re adding the e.g. alternate character into our new typeface, which we first introduced with Kinetic back in 2017. I’m a bit unsure whether to set it up as a localised option for both English and Spanish or to make it a stylistic alternate. I have a feeling that including it as a localised form would be better, since that way most users can actually see and use it, rather than it being hidden away. What would you do?
