Hi @pkj-l Thanks for the feedback. We will think about it. Can you tell why you prefer this construction? In what context does it feel more natural?

I think the 1 without bottom slab looks more “friendly”.

I think this could be a stylistic variant. The serifless 1 gives a taste of DIN, and it helps distinguish from lowercase i at small font size.

IMHO, I think this character variant / stylistic set for '1' would nicely complement the alternate 'l' (cv01).

cv01

(This combination [cv01 & requested alternate '1'] can be seen in some of the popular fonts - Iosevka, Berkeley Mono, etc.).
