Brilliant project. The face looks good. The code looks good. It’s nice to see it in Python too. I don’t especially love the language but I have a great fondness for seeing life things codified with a standard API in a typed (or at least, type-able) language. Needing to draw an “A” in something without having to pull in font libraries (that is to say passing a compatible draw context to this project’s LowercaseAGlyph.draw) sounds nice.
`Only two minimal ligatures are exposed with "->" and "=>".`
I like that, I usually have ligatures turned off, because I don't like all of them, especially the ones for == or ===. (Otoh I do like != ligatures...) but I do like the arrows.
This is probably were somebody tells me how easy it is to configure singular ligatures on a font and I'll facepalm in embarrassment for never finding out.
Y'know, I didn't think anything was gonna pull me away from Iosevka but... here we are. Gonna give this a real go. Helping its case is that it looks a bit like Berkeley Mono.
I like that this isn't trying to be aggressively narrow like so many other fonts do. I currently use DejaVu Mono because it feels comfortably spaced.
Looks nice. I just fell in love with Pragmasevka, a mix of Pragmata Pro and Iosevka. It's pretty much a free Pragmata Pro

It's 99% JetBrains Mono from my quick comparison. I can barely see the difference except for $&# and a few others.
LE: Ok, so it's a little more different that JetBrains Mono as this comparison shows https://claude.ai/artifact/HPiALZ7AZ2f5FxSZtcTdNa
"93% different"
I don't see myself moving away from Ioskeley Mono

Spacing looks good for monospace, but it's too wide for my taste.
I like the shape of the lowercase italic 'w'!
Pdf preview doesn't work on GitHub.
It reminds me of OpenBSD's Spleen fonts

You can edit a font and remove the ligatures you dislike using fontforge [1].

Very nice.
