Comment on GitHub Monaspace Case Study

Comments

Very useful to mix and match various fonts based on semantics. I have a problem with Radon's l though, to me it reads like chumiZy and xenoZith. I don't understand how this could have slipped through, I can't be the only one being constantly confused.

A few people thought this, there's a GitHub ticket for it which they closed after they added a variant in v1.2 for a standard i and a loopy l that you can opt in to use.

Can't quickly find a screenshot though you can use web dev tools to add

   font-feature-settings: "cv10" 1;

Superb, thanks!

I feel like that font is a real bad apple. The other ones are decent and I like the "texture healing" (but not its name)

kerning, and it's been 'smart' since Linotype machines if not before.

Yeah, I think the italics compounds the problem in their comment example: // Notify aZZ Zisteners
