Borrowing from ertgl's work, here's a plugin that supports font variation settings in TailwindCSS for font-weight, italics, and disables the built-in fontWeight utilities.
This can be useful if your font supports slnt or ital as it should deal with Font-variation-settings inheritance.
Note: I'm using Inter and thought this using slnt displayed a better italic but for your font you might want to update to "ital" 1
