  • The requested variant shape does not go too far away from Iosevka's design.
  • The requested variant does not conflict with any characters in Unicode that Iosevka currently supports.
  • Some other monospace/programming fonts supported the requested variant. Provide images below.

Do you mean to have ASCII ' and ` look like raised comma and reverse-comma?

Exactly, a stylistic variant.

I think it would be logical to also have the same comma-derived style for double quotes ". Is it possible?

@pv4 I do not see a lot of use cases for a curly ASCII ". The only use cases of paired (therefore needs to become curly) ` / ' are Lisp and TeX, and they do not influence ".
For typographic uses, there are already “ ” „ ‟.
