  • The requested variant shape does not go too far away from the current 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.

(This is my first GitHub post)

I have grew fond of using Iosevka for a while now. I thought of some interesting but useful variants that could be added.

First, I'd like to suggest adding motion serifs to additional letters: b d g k q, to complete the motion serif set (so far there's h, m, n and p). The motion serif variant for g and q is the same as p, but reversed. This is Vivala Code:

variants for b d g k q

And a motion serif variant for a as well in Cascadia Code.

Cascadia Code a

The capital letters L and Z can have serifs on the bottom right. Z could also have a serif on tbe top left too. Below is a sample of Gintronic:

variants for L and Z

Capital Q can also have its tail going straight through the bottom, like in Dank Mono or Sweden Sans:

Straight notch Q

I hope this is enough variants. I appreciate your work and I'm glad to provide my own contributions and suggestions on this font 😄


Bonuses (for consideration only)

I found this (Furtive Mono Code) in Behance a while back. I thought these would also be neat additions, if that's good enough.

Alternative curly y:

Alternate capital G, J, 1 (similar to Operator Mono) and asterisk * (motion-serif a is also proposed above):

(Note the shape d has bottom-right serif, like that in m, n)
