Its not much, as its a variation on Iosevka, exclusively for programming, and I made it a while ago, but I wanted to see what the community thinks. (I tried including a picture with the post but it failed to upload for some reason)
I’d love to see more open source self-made fonts. Any criticisims on functionality, or recommended changes are welcome.

Something I couldn’t find in the readme (could be my fault) is the “why”. What did you tweak, what where the things in Iosevka that you we’re missing?
Oh thats a good point, I didn’t include it.
- I changed the width of all the characters, made them like 40% wider. That was the big thing stopping me from using Iosevka; all the letters look squished to me.
- I swapped out some of the letter choices, such as making
alook like an “o with a tail” instead of a backwards 6 with a tail (if that makes sense, its kinda hard without a picture). I did changes like that for a handful of characters, I think it was a, l, {, }, and maybe y as well. - I changed the thick/thinness options. I like really thin fonts, so I had it output ultra thin by default. I did have some trouble with the bold weight being too heavy and I’d like to tweak it more but haven’t gotten around to it.
- I played around with kerning, but I think its effectively the same as Iosevka
- Last, I think I disabled some of the ligatures
