  Wow, I didn't really expect to see my project there this morning! I'm normally a simple lurker, but I wanted to say thanks for the kind words about the project.I know some people might want to modify or tweak the project to their liking. The project is meant to provide a Python sandbox more than just font files, so feel free to fork it or submit a PR if you feel like some glyphs need tweaking! You don't need any external tools to draw/visualize the glyphs.

  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

  Operator Mono is still very, very nice.https://www.typography.com/blog/introducing-operator

  Looks good. Suggestion: make parenthesis and brackets more different from each other.

  It's a bit like the paid font Berkeley Mono which I've been using for a while now. But I think Nordwand feels softer and nicer, it embodies a message in the font (thus the fluency effect is more potent).The message may be subjective but it strikes me as: "I, the font, contain important data [due to the sharp curvatures and uniform size of letter elements]. Not sure if others think about fonts in this way.Berkeley Mono's message to me feels like "I'm just doing my job, don't mind me, focus on your thing".

  > I'm very passionate about the font I am using for my terminal and overall neovim experienceAnd who isn't?Squints - m is too weird - tab closed :)

  It gives me the vibes of output from 1970's typewriters that my dad used.Having aging eyes, I wish monospace fonts made 8 and 0 (zero) more different from each other. I notice that I have started to confuse those two glyphs when in small sizes.

  Looks nice. I just fell in love with Pragmasevka, a mix of Pragmata Pro and Iosevka. It's pretty much a free Pragmata Prohttps://github.com/shytikov/pragmasevka

  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.

  I have been going back and forth between Luxi Mono (serif monospace fonts are rare but look great on high-resolution monitors) and Hack (like Helvetica, it has virtually no personality and thus fits well everywhere). Everything else I've seen has looked... weird or off somehow. But this is one of the first alternatives I'm entertaining the idea of trying.My main concern is that the tall glyphs for less than < and greater than > will disambiguate badly with actual Unicode left 〈 and right angle brackets 〉.Edit: I also realised just now the ASCII hyphen-minus - is quite long with this typeface, which makes it ambiguous with the longer dashes. (It looks freakin' great in pure ASCII environments, though!)

  I love my ligatures, I will not be using a font without them.

  Are people vibecoding fonts now? Just wondering as I see at least one new font pop up here every day almost...

  The overall shape of the glyphs (excluding lowercase 'l', that is, 'ell', not 'eye') is that of Berkeley Mono.[1][1]: https://usgraphics.com/products/berkeley-mono

  I used to be a coder like you, but then I took a Claude to the knee.
• fercircularbuf
  Nice work. I unfortunately wouldn't be able to use it for programming because I find the parenthesis and square bracket look too similar, and it would definitely increase extraneous cognitive load.
• rbanffy
  It reminds me of an old Olivetti typewriter my aunt gave me to play with.

  As someone who isn't super into fonts, this font reminds me a lot of Berkeley Mono, which is an incredible terminal font

  I actually fricking love this font
• rogue_agent
  Funny, I found this font last week on the programming fonts website before it blew up. Was using IoskeleyMono before, and think this is my endgame for now! Amazing readable font.
• vishnuharidas
  Looks good, please put up on a simple web page with a few code samples and allowing us to edit and try.

  I don't see myself moving away from Ioskeley Monohttps://github.com/ahatem/IoskeleyMono
• swimmingbrain
  Definitely going to use it in my tools and for my projects, the flexibility offered in the repo looks so great!
• polyterative
  Nice font, it reminds me the kind of fonts they are using when showing code in movies
• bartvk
  If you want something actually more narrow, check out Anka/Coder Narrow.
• igleria
  never ever tried a different font in my terminal but for some reason I feel compelled to start with this one.
• tarcon
  Spacing looks good for monospace, but it's too wide for my taste.
• plastic041
  I like the shape of the lowercase italic 'w'!Pdf preview doesn't work on GitHub.
• Gualdrapo
  It reminds me of OpenBSD's Spleen fonts

  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.

  Is there a font manager program for Windows?I see repeated posts on various fonts these days and I would like to try them.Is manual installation the only option?
• bitwize
  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.

  What problem does this font solve?

  Very 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.

  While this is nice, I'm gonna take the opportunity to plug Commit Mono because it's my favorite monospace font https://commitmono.com/.
