  • 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.
  • At least two monospace/programming fonts, created by different designers, supported the requested variant. Provide images below.

Since #362, a variant for curly z has been added, but the design of 7 throughout is mostly straight.

The black one on the left has a concave curve while the Gintronic one curves like a nice s-shape like that of 2. I do prefer the Arial one is enough but I do believe the Gintronic one looks appealing as it harmonizes with curly Z and default 2. I brought 2 up in green for illustration.

I'm fine if either one or even both of these gets added. Unlike my previous issue, this one quite makes the mark.

7

I would like to add that Source Code Pro and Liberation Mono also have a curly 7 like in Helvetica/Arial. I'm too busy to upload pictures at this time, but I'm sure most of us have seen those fonts before.

I was about to make a new issue like this, but thanks for getting my idea covered, @NoxUltima.

I propose one of two options

If I did only one, you will open an issue for another. So both will be introduced.
And also barred versions.

It's okay. In the first place, I didn't mean that.

And also barred versions.

Plus serifed ones, not to forget... That's twelve in total...
