The 'a' and the 'o' are a bit similar, but all in all I can see myself trying this out. Reminds me a bit of Comic Code and Maple Mono. Thanks for sharing!
There are a few odd things about this post though. Take this as well-intentioned feedback.
- New account. No previous submissions or comments.
- New Github account. No previous activity.
- Mentions custom engine (cool!), but omits any details.
- Calls other mono fonts 'fugly'; refuses to elaborate.
- Releasing based on interest feels like engagement farming. Let me know when it's done. Then I'll judge whether I'm interested.
- Regular weights are free. Implication is that other weights will be paid. That's fine. I'm happy to pay for fonts. But I'm unlikely to try a font in earnest without bold and italics.
Sorry if this comes off as harsh. I wish you the best with this!
hey! no i wasnt planning to charge... should i? the reason i didnt release the other weights is because i built the glyphs scaled by the width of the line... so i haven't really tested out the other "weights"... meaning, i haven't yet decided exactly what widths to set the other weights at... and that would take some time for me to do... and i would only do it if there was interest :) and its not a new github account, i just dont have any public repos https://linkedin.com/in/lorettarules im like a real person
i code like 18 hours a day... so i tweeked the font solely for myself, until it worked for me... for instance, the hashtag was super important, because i mostly code in python, so it went thru many iterations before i was happy with it... i was bored the other day and i was thinking i spent so much time on the font, i might as well let others use it, you know?
