As promised, here are comparison shots of both the 'SF Pro Display' font and
the 'SF Pro' font (which is slightly thinner and straighter).
Look especially at the page titles: the 'n' in 'Fonts' does not line up its
baseline to the other characters, and on some hinting levels the horizontal
spacing between characters seem to overlap.
