I’m continuing my work on the segmented display color font.

This weekend, I’m focusing on stylistic set #2, which draws inspiration from Sharp EL-8 and Sharp EL-160 retro calculators.

Here’s the first draft of the upright black font master.

🎉🎉🎉 Martian Mono font 1.0 is out!

In this version I added the basic Cyrillic script for Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Russian languages.

💙💛 Consider to support Ukraine

Another milestone passed: the Martian Mono’s Cyrillic is almost ready!

All glyphs for 6 masters are finished. The next step is balancing letters’ visual weights by examining text massives.

Yay! I was lucky enough to take my favorite corner spot in my second favorite coffee shop. I love it because it’s quiet and in front of the window.

I’m going to work on #Cyrillic в and з for the next few hours from here.

Yesterday’s progress. I added some #diacritics to Martian Grotesk and Mono.

Working on kerning for glyphs with vertical caron.

Ð is done, ð is in progress.

Is it me, or does it seem falling to the right a bit? Maybe I should bend its top to the left to balance the entire glyph.

So how do you think which asterisks/slashes comment style looks better?

Polished arrows, finished all ligatures for comparisons and equality.
