Any plans for monospaced? #29

Open ghost opened 3 years ago

ghost commented 3 years ago

I just love this font. As developer I would like to use it as my preferred font for coding. However, it seems it doesn't have a "monospace" style :(( Does it? Do you have plans for that? Thank you!

Btw, I'm willing to learn how to create the monospaced style from the existing ones. Any suggestions or directions? Thanks.

No plans as of yet.

If you want to do this, you'll have to use https://glyphsapp.com/.

There are two possible approaches. You could create an entirely new family with new source files or you could create the monospace variants inside the existing font and release it as a variable font. The first approach is much easier. For fonts which do the latter approach, look at https://www.recursive.design/. It has a variable font axis called MONO.
