💥 An ERROR is something wrong with FontBakery itself, possibly a bug.
🔥 A FAIL is a problem with the font that must be fixed.
⚠️ A WARN is something that you should consider addressing.
ℹ️ An INFO result simply prints something useful. Typically stats.
✅ A PASS means the font looks good for the given checking routine.
⏩ And a SKIP happens when the check does not apply to the given font.
