Hi, I really like this font. Are there any plans to implement the above feature in the future?

There are currently no plans to add contextual alternates, but a number of glyphs are already available for manual activation. For example, there are case-sensitive forms case for the characters @()[]{}\/·•-–—«‹›». Enabling these via contextual alternatives is something that is worth exploring.

As with other enhancements, if anyone else thinks this would be a useful addition, please have your say, or vote with a thumbs up so we can asses the most popular feature requests going forward.
