Maybe some smoother italic-specific ones for the cases where the glyphs just about connect anyway

I find li hard to read. I understand you have an increased x-height for legibility, but in the italic i (especially when near an l or tl or the like) is confusing since there is little space between the dot & body, & the top of the dot & cap height.

<li> is very common in HTML.

Related since I wonder if a 'left foot' ligature for the i could help? A bit more larger dot &/or more vertical spacing could also.

Thanks for your great font!

Edit: I figured it out; it is the upper-left ear on the i that makes the I look like L in smaller font sizes with my blurry vision. :)

Thanks for your input.

For the next revision, I had already adjusted the i «ear». Following some initial testing, I think I’ll also increase the dot size and make it the same as the period.

Hey sorry if I'm a bit late however compatibility with font awesome would be nice

<i class="fa fa-thumbs-o-up"></i> becomes <i class="fa fa-thumbs-o-up"></i>
Monoid another open source font does it

@sohilkaushal Thanks for the suggestion, but I won’t be adding FA icons to this font: too much work and bloat, and I don’t really see it as that useful.

Yeah true although I might suggest adding a bit more docs for the project I'll be happy to help

Cheers

One ligature I'd like to see is that of the spread operator in javascript, which is three dots.
