Single story "a" alternatives - need two-story "a" #35

Closed zsoltmar closed 1 year ago

zsoltmar commented 1 year ago

Would love to see modern fonts have a two-story "a" at least as a stylistic alternative. It's been proven over and over again that single story "a"s are way less legible on small sizes. It's also a very strong stylistic choice for a lot of users. Would be nice if this would be an addition to a later release!

The current release features a two-storey 'a' as an opentype stylistic alternate.

Closing as fixed 🙏 let me know if you don't think of it as complete @zsoltmar ☝️

Awesome!

For context, we're working on enabling this alternative for usage with umlauts etc, too 🙏
