The following image shows a printed appostrophe followed by a ê. I think it is too tight. The params in use are "MONO" 0, "CASL" 0, "wght" 380, "slnt" 0, "CRSV" 0.5. I didn’t test if similar errors exist elsewhere.

Thanks for taking the time to file this issue, @raphaelbastide! I agree, that is too tight. I will try to fix this soon and build an updated release.

Okay, sorry it took awhile to get to this issue. I’ve dug into this a little bit, and improved things. Heres a before (top) and after (bottom):

The new state isn’t as perfect as I’d like, but part of that is because Recursive prioritizes keeping line-lengths the exact same between Sans styles (and thus, kerning is shared across some fairly different shapes). I may revisit this again in the future, but I’ll release this upgrade now to mostly solve this. I am currently building the fonts, and I should be able to release this today (or else this week) as version 1.079. It will take more time for this to trickle over to Google Fonts, however.
