Hi, I see that there is no medium weight font in this typeface and also https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-serif.
Please consider generating medium weight, since it is still being widely used.

The weight range for Source Sans (and also Source Serif) has been considered so that the styles work together harmoniously. While it is true that many typefaces contain a Medium weight, it would not make much sense to wedge one in between Regular and Semibold – there would not be enough weight difference to make that Medium be a good style for emphasis.

But – you’re in luck! The variable font gives you the possibility to choose any weight you desire.

I will consider this for future releases.
