The text claims the map below represents the whole space including the newly added “display italic” styles, but the visible mapping table section only names “Display” under opsz and doesn’t document any “Display Italic” style entry. Either extend the table/map to include how Display Italic is represented, or reword the sentence to clarify that the table is only describing specific axes (e.g., opsz) and that Display Italic isn’t a separate named entry here.

Suggested change

	With the newly added monospace, display, and display italic styles, Mona Sans' design space now spans 168 instances. Below is a map for the whole space. Style entries with a hyphen are elidable, meaning they are the default and have no name.
	With the newly added monospace, display, and display italic styles, Mona Sans' design space now spans 168 instances. Below is a map of the registered axis values in that space. Display italic styles are represented by combining the Display optical size (opsz 72) with Italic (ital 1). Style entries with a hyphen are elidable, meaning they are the default and have no name.

For consistency with the style naming used elsewhere in the document/table (e.g., “Display”), consider capitalizing the style names in this sentence (e.g., “Monospace”, “Display”, “Display Italic”).

There’s an extra blank line added before the “### Mona Sans Monospace Styles” heading. If it’s not intentionally separating sections (e.g., to satisfy a markdown linter), consider removing it to keep formatting changes minimal.
