I built a custom Python-based procedural engine to generate the weights because I wanted more logical control over the geometry. It currently has 700+ glyphs and deep math support.
Regular weight is free for the community. I'm releasing more weights based on interest.
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!
Also would like to see more examples, say including this deep math.
EDIT: The joke wasn't that bad. :(
