Aporetic fonts version 1.1.0

Customised build of the Iosevka typeface, with a consistent rounded style and overrides for almost all individual glyphs in both upright (roman) and slanted (italic) variants. This is the successor to my now-discontinued “Iosevka Comfy” fonts.

Below are the release notes.


This release includes two stylistic corrections that pertain to Aporetic Serif and Aporetic Serif Mono.

  • The first change is to the slanted (italic) form of the letter t. Before, it was mistakenly set to have a curved, upward-facing bottom stroke, which would clash with the flat bottom of i and l. Now the slanted t has a flat bottom as intended. The upright (roman) variants are always flat in this regard.

  • The second change is to the letter m in both upright and slanted forms. Before, the m would have a top left serif, as intended, but not a bottom right tail. The tail is a feature of other glyphs that need to have such a style, like a, h, n, u: it imposes a proper rhythm together with the rest of the serif details. Now the m has its missing bottom right tail, making everything consistent.

    [ The m has a shorter middle leg in all the “mono” families” to improve readability, especially at small point sizes. The proportionately spaced fonts use a normal middle leg, as m is naturally wider there and thus is already perfectly legible. The other details are the same. ]
