Cool looking font, it reminds me of my handwriting style (especially the italicised version). If the author is around, can you explain why you chose to extend the brackets and parens below the base line of the other characters?



Thanks, and I'd be happy to explain. They extend from the bottom of the descenders to the top of the ascenders. So if you look at something like: [h][a][g], you'll see the 'a' is roughly centered and the top of the h and the bottom of the g line up. So for things like foo() and class blah { ... }; the o and semicolon are roughly centered vertically on the opening paren and closing brace, respectively.

If you look at Consolas, for example, you'll see this is hardly unique.


Interesting. Thanks for sharing this font! I've been trying it out for a bit and really like its feel. Great work!
