Too Thin

[ahdyt]

OK.

I am using demi bold medium as my regular font, this works great, but full bold is a little hard to distinguish. A heavy bold would be a great addition to this font.

Are ligatures broken on demi bold italics and obliques for other people?

I am very new to font design, how are different weights added? Is there a parameter that can be tweaked or does every glyph need to be thickened manually?

No idea

Couple of issues here.

I prefer thin fonts, so Victor Mono’s default is thinner than most other fonts. I also know most other fonts have a «fatter» bold than VM’s Bold.

For the next release, I’ll try to see if the font shapes can be made even more bold without curves and other features being misaligned/made unrecogniseable.

As for broken ligatures, I’m not aware of that, but I do know that VS Code on macOS Catalina currently has a bug that only shows italics when using a single font weight (600, I believe).

Thx

It's more prose related than code related, but so far, it looks like Victor Mono really has the perfect x-height to be mixed with common serif/sans-serif fonts. In that context, I think a "fatter" bold would be a great addition.

Thanks a lot for all the work you have already done with this font.
