Sharp S "ẞ" using the Frankfurt shape

Discussed in #517

Thank you for all the work you have done @rsms, I absolutely love your font!

The current ẞ in Inter uses the Dresden shape (no. 1 in the picture), which is generally the most popular variant and works well for most font designs.

Given Inter's rather geometric shape though, I believe that a character variant of ẞ using the Frankfurt shape (no. 3 in the picture) would be a great addition that followed Inter's overall feel.

I'm wondering whether it's possible to add such a character variant of ẞ to Inter – either via contribution or money?

Thanks,

Simon
