Mono Version? #8

Closed indolering closed 5 years ago

indolering commented 5 years ago

I was thinking of creating a monospaced version of this font, I think it would make a great competitor to Operator Mono!

Any thoughts?

I'm personally not interested in monospaced fonts, so if you feel like doing it, be my guest. šŸ˜¬

Might that be worth creating a new branch?

You should check out Operator Pro, it can be a fun design constraint!

If I do this, I would like to keep it in sync with the core project. That means a lot of scripted transforms....

Might that be worth creating a new branch?

Agreed.

I love Operator, though mostly for the natural-width version. The unsolvable /m/ problem just ruins monospaced fonts for me.

The Hairline and Medium masters of Ysabeau should be pretty stable now, so Iā€™d hope you could start on those weights of the mono with little need for frequent adjustments.

It is just delicious! I strongly dislike most programming-oriented fonts. They generally feel like amateurish attempts by programmers. I was contemplating manually outline raster type samples of Operator Mono until I found this.

Elucidate, please? I don't get to do much design work anymore šŸ˜€.

I'm pretty busy, so I'll wait.

I'm not sure how to approach lowercase "l" and uppercase "I", mind working those glyphs for me?
