I can’t help but think that the example in that page has used ‘timing’ so much to deliberately show off texture healing - it’s a great example because the ‘m’ can expand in both directions and the ‘i’s end up looking the same.

I suspect the state where different width variants of the same letter are close to each other would happen a lot more in the real world.




Right, and they show it above "time" where the "e" can't "give the space" so you can understand if it actually bothers you (probably not unless you stop and stare):

    const timing_end_m_ = () => {
      let timing_end = new Date();
      let time_spent = timing_end - timing_start; // in ms
