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.

The font looks great and has its own character, kudos!

However, it doesn't support all the characters I need, so I can't use it as a terminal font. However, I starred your repo, and will watch it.

Thanks again for the effort, it looks really nice.

It looks nice. The rounded square, boxy shape has a 70s feel to it. The 'm' bugs me a bit, and the <>, but I'm going to use it in my IDE for a while.

Edit: I'm quite fond of the 'k'.

Seeing as your font is OFL, you might like to submit it to Google Fonts. That would make it so much easier for devs to include on their webpages and other media.

Hey, how did you designed the typeface using Python? Asking ad a designer who thought Python is a programming language…

What a beautiful font! Thanks so much for open-sourcing it!

I mean, I opened up the github, and wow, I don't know what it is, but visually, just seeing the GitHub, I can't remember the last time I opened up a font from HN (and they get posted often enough) that really surprised me how nice it looked. There's something really nice about it.

Im going to give this a go. Im using berkeley mono, so this is up my alley. What colorscheme are you using in the examples? I tend to find that font + colorscheme goes hand in hand.
