Too Thin about victor-mono HOT 6 CLOSED

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).

OK.

(Don’t really know what else to say here)

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

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.
