Please include the ability to customize the ascent-override, descent-override, and
line-gap-override properties within the @font-face declaration. I'm currently working with Effra Variable font, and in Figma, it looks great, but in the browser, the line-height is very uneven -- significantly more space below letters than above. Trying to offset the effects on a case-by-case basis is untenable, especially when the fonts behave so differently in the browser vs in design software. We need to be able to adjust the ascent-override property, but because we're using typekit, we cannot.
