    The &#x27;a&#x27; and the &#x27;o&#x27; 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!<p>There are a few odd things about this post though. Take this as well-intentioned feedback.<p>- New account. No previous submissions or comments.<p>- New Github account. No previous activity.<p>- Mentions custom engine (cool!), but omits any details.<p>- Calls other mono fonts &#x27;fugly&#x27;; refuses to elaborate.<p>- Releasing based on interest feels like engagement farming. Let me know when it&#x27;s done. Then I&#x27;ll judge whether I&#x27;m interested.<p>- Regular weights are free. Implication is that other weights will be paid. That&#x27;s fine. I&#x27;m happy to pay for fonts. But I&#x27;m unlikely to try a font in earnest without bold and italics.<p>Sorry if this comes off as harsh. I wish you the best with this!

    I find the &quot;i&quot; quite excruciating to look at.<p>Also would like to see more examples, say including this deep math.

      It&#x27;s like a dotted version of the false&#x2F;bottom symbol from logic: ⊥̇

      It&#x27;s just letting you dot your Ts and cross your Is. ;)<p>EDIT: The joke wasn&#x27;t that bad. :(

    Could you share more information on this custom python procedural engine?

    I would suggest making the screenshot with the font at different sizes. They first thing I want is to have an approximation of how it will look at small sizes.

    Why do this rather than just using METAFONT&#x2F;METAPOST&#x2F;METATYPE1?

      It&#x27;s not very easy to use Metafont and its derivatives to produce a modern TrueType&#x2F;OpenType font. Even the TeX Gyre fonts use FontForge [0] rather than Metafont.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ctan.org&#x2F;tex-archive&#x2F;fonts&#x2F;tex-gyre&#x2F;source" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ctan.org&#x2F;tex-archive&#x2F;fonts&#x2F;tex-gyre&#x2F;source</a>
