Any possibility for a proportional variant?
Monospaced font was clearly the right option when launching this typeface. However, I would also appreciate a proportional variant. I won't pitch you hard on it, but I am interested in hearing if there is other support out there.
Would you ever consider making a proportional variant? Would something like that even be reasonable with this typeface?
Could be an interesting approach. I'm not sure how many people use proportional fonts for coding though — but I'm assuming you're thinking about something like the Input proportional font variant but just with the "crispness" of Monoid?
Any idea how hard it would be to postprocess the font files to adjust the width of each glyph?
Just as a proof of concept, I spend the last three hours adjusting the LBearing and RBearing by increments of 128 and this is the result. https://www.dropbox.com/s/e42a5yp77qd36tr/Monoisome-Variable-Regular.ttf?dl=0
I'm sure it's possible to do the same programatically and what additionally is missing here is the kerning, which is especially obvious with a word like "over".
A possible use case for this might be as a font for <code> blocks inside of a <p>. Monoid has a distinctive glyph for each character, which is important when reading code, but in the context of code interspersed in text, alignment of a monospace font doesn't matter or maybe even undesirable.
