  Description     : An innovative superfamily of fonts for code

I'll maintain this under the fonts team. It is not easy to find a
good coding font. This one looks great.

The Monaspace type system: a monospaced type superfamily with some
modern tricks up its sleeves. It is comprised of five variable axis
typefaces. Each one has a distinct voice, but they are all metrics-
compatible with one another, allowing you to mix and match them for a
more expressive typographical palette.

Thank you for using reportbug

Same here!

How far have you come with your efforts to package this font? I have
seen an empty GIT repository here, but nothing more yet:

Cheers,

Hi Fabian,

Feel free to collaborate or even take this ITP over.
My motivation of packaging this font is blocked by the too-wide font width:
https://github.com/githubnext/monaspace/issues/22
That makes it very difficult to use in my terminal emulator.

At the time when I filed the ITP, there was no source available
to reproduce the font. I took a quick glance and it seems that
the .glyph files are present, so we can finally package it
without breaking Debian policy.

Unfortunately, the provided .glyph files are not compatible with
fontmake:
