Hi @ravid-dubsteper @design-change! Can you please add sources in your repo so I can take a look to the font? A .glyphs file for example. Thank you!

Thank you! I managed to open it with Glyphs. I think that all the glyphset should follow the inline design :)

We will have a look with the team, I'll let you know if the project is accepted!

@emmamarichal thanks for pointing

But as a non-basic latin language user through years of frustration working with the base fonts blank, I decided to keep the rest of the characters that I didn't redesign in the original version instead of publishing blank characters.

You know fira is a very complex font to make every single character, especially as I have no knowledge of characters from languages I do not know, so I also did not want to create characters without knowledge that are wrong but seem correct to me - from experience even the most popular fonts have extended characters designed in a misleading way.

and as I try to point everywhere, this is just my redesign of the fira and I do not attribute authorship to the base font.

Therefore these are my design decisions
