monoid Request: Light monoid?

Would it be possible to get a thin variant on Monoid? Coming from Source Code Pro Light, Monoid Regular/Retina looks very thick. Thoughts?

For reference..

OS: OSX, Mavericks App: iTerm2 Size: 12pt (Comparable to Source Code Pro's 14pt)

edit: Apparently i'm looking for "Light", not "Thin". Corrected.

have you tried changing the antialiasing? (you can do that in atom and other similar editors)

Yes, i tried both with antialiasing and without. For what it's worth, the text is very crisp, that is not my problem. My problem is the thickness of the letters.

As a comparison, on my screen Monoid's thickness looks similar to Source Code Pro Regular or Source Code Pro Medium. Both of which are very thick, in my opinion. I vastly prefer Source Code Pro Light or Source Code Pro ExtraLight (hence this request).

Not sure how well these will com across on screenshots, but here are some examples:

Source Code Pro Regular

Monoid

And what i'd like to see, is a thickness similar to this, Source Code Pro ExtraLight (a Light and ExtraLight would be great, but the below is ExtraLight)

The images don't seem to come across that clearly, not sure if they're being compressed by Github or my Screenshot app, but hopefully they help illustrate it, a tiny bit. It's purely preference of course, but that's why i'm asking :)

hooray for multiple-weight coding font families! 🙌

I'll probably start drawing it once I switch to rMBP (waiting for a long overdue update) I don't really have a use for it now as monoid is all about pixel alignment for coding use. There are many prettier monospaced fonts for text use.

@larsenwork can you please consider adding a medium weight to Monoid?
