Asymmetric 8, like Fira Code or FF Meta

ghost commented 3 years ago

[x] The requested variant shape does not go too far away from Iosevka's design.
[x] The requested variant does not conflict with any characters in Unicode that Iosevka currently supports.
[x] At least two monospace/programming fonts, created by different designers, supported the requested variant. Provide images below.

Shown below are closeups of Iosevka's standard 8 and Fira Code's asymmetric 8, and I've drawn lines between the holes to point it out. In one hand it a sort of ℵ-like shape at the cross-section. From another perspective, it looks like an s but with the terminals curving inward and meeting one another.

Most serif fonts (even Times New Roman) do have these styles as standard, and thus adapted in humanist sans-serif fonts such as Fira Code and FF Meta makes it unique and at the same time beautiful to see.

This shape is very hard to construct. Put in backlog.

Iosevka is not Humanist styled. It is closer to Neo-Grotesque.

Oh. Oops, my bad.
