Narrower font widths about monaspace HOT 6 OPEN

I've been using Iosevka for it's very narrow variants, so having more narrow font choices would be great.

Agree: the minimal width of the fonts seems to be larger than widths of other fonts, making it harder to Monaspace as a drop-in replacement, as it increases the overall text column width. Would be nice to have some lower width values available.

+1. The font is too wide. There is not a "Thin" variant, but a "SemiWide" and a "Wide" variant.

I would love to use these fonts, but this is holding me back. We use a 120 character line limit for our codebase, and with these fonts at minimum width the code no longer fits into my screen :(

For me Consolas font has the perfect width. Would be nice if the smallest width variant reached at least that narrowness.

I'd very much like to use a condensed/narrow version of these new fonts!

I currently use MPlus Code which unfortunately doesn't support ligatures, and I'm intrigued by Monaspace and the potential for more typesetting while writing code.

For further condensed examples, look at:

• https://rubjo.github.io/victor-mono/
• https://www.programmingfonts.org/#iosevka
• https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Inconsolata/tester <-- choose 50, 62.5, or 75% width
• https://www.programmingfonts.org/#quinze
• https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Nanum+Gothic+Coding

Personally, I'd like to see Monaspace fonts support 50, 62.5, and 75% widths.

Thank you for releasing them, good fonts are very difficult to get right!
