released five weights

oh thats really nice of you to say... thank you codezero

thank you so much!

thank you so much! im autistic and its soothing to me :)

you folks are super harsh... my gosh lolz

i code like 18 hours a day... so i tweeked the font solely for myself, until it worked for me... for instance, the hashtag was super important, because i mostly code in python, so it went thru many iterations before i was happy with it... i was bored the other day and i was thinking i spent so much time on the font, i might as well let others use it, you know?

and you dont even need all the A-z and digits...

ya...

so i just use reportlab and i just created custom drawing classes for lines and arcs, which takes in a variable "weight" that controls the "thickness" of the line it draws...

and then after you generate the "basics" (A-z, digits and some basic shapes like dots and whatnot), almost all the remaining glyphs are just some (scaled) combination of those glyphs, in some way or another... and i made like a "map" of that...

does that make sense?

oh okay so i had chatgpt generate the readme for me... and thats just how it came out... i dont really know how to shrink the size of the buymeacoffee banner... i didnt mean for it to be so big... i just have never done anything like this... ive never gotten so much flack from releasing a free font before... sheesh

what kind of issues?

no

if you file a ticket or email me, i can try to get to the glyphs that you need... when i have time... thanks!

i don't like the lowercase "a" because i dont understand why it looks like a backwards six... i don't understand why it has that tail on top...

yes, im gonna fix this... honestly i didnt realize anyone would be actually interested... i've gotten really great responses... thank you so much! companies have actually been reaching out to me! im really honored thank you!

ya... the i was a tough one to do... because its a trade off you know? between having honor the fact that its a slim character and having it match the look of the others... this was incredibly difficult to do because of the fact that the characters have to align correctly - say if an i is between two M's - and also sandwiched between two T's... its really difficult... but let me know if you come up with an alternative solution!
