Iosevka is indeed a very pretty typeface. I've been using it for a while now and been really enjoying it. Here's some Dafny code for your viewing pleasure: https://i.imgur.com/clxUR1y.png

Which color scheme is that, if you don't mind? I always keep an eye open for pleasing colors :)

Of course not!

The color scheme [0] is my fork of tango-plus [1] with a few small changes.

This font has been my daily driver for at least a year. It has some similarities with Pragmata Pro (my previous font), but has evolved to have its own personality now. I build a custom version of the font with this command-line: $ make custom-config design='v-tilde-low v-asterisk-low v-underscore-low v-at-short v-zero-dotted term' && make custom This gives me: - Disabled ligatures (I don't like them for my coding fon…

Why do you dislike ligatures in your coding font? Just curious.

Not the parent, but I’ve had an issue where the fi ligature occupies just one character width, which looks very wrong with an otherwise monospace font. If the ligature is done right (resulting glyph is double-width), then I would probably like it.

nice work. a large family like this is very well suited to be a variable font[1] -- even the slabs could be an axis. 1. https://blog.typekit.com/2016/09/14/variable-fonts-a-new-kin...

To be honest, Iosevka is not suitable for the current VF specification, because that it does not support changing glyph topology while changing parameters.
