The font is great. What I miss is a step forward in technology: variable glyphs. The feeling of reading a handwritten text is lost when the letters have always the same shape. If it were possible to add 5-6 little variations for each letter and alternate them randomly, it would be awesome.

It’s a monospace font not a handwriting font, but TT2020 uses an interesting technique to do this. https://copypaste.wtf/TT2020/docs/moreinfo.html https://copypaste.wtf/TT2020/docs/moreinfo2.html

You could sample the informality variable for this font, it might work out.

Or even sample from a distribution of variations for infinite possibilities ?
