Typography & fonts

Hi everyone,

I've been checking out the Monaspace font family lately, which seems really interesting. It has five unique styles and a solid approach to variable width and provides support for Cyrillic, Greek, and Vietnamese characters. Overall, the design is super neat and looks awesome.

However, I think I've found a minor bug in the form of a glitch that causes distortion and incorrect rendering.

While reviewing the Argon style in FontLab, I noticed a rendering error. There appears to be an issue with the variable font regarding the following:

• The Cyrillic lowercase letter ҳ (Kha with descender) in italic
• The Cyrillic lowercase letter х (Kha) in normal

I tried to fix it on my end, but it was difficult without breaking the interpolation.

It would be best to inform the creators of this font about this issue so they can look into it and hopefully resolve it, improving the font for everyone.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for reading!

The Hells Angels aggressively protect their patches and branding, but who actually owns the font style itself?

Is it a custom typeface, an old public-domain western font they adopted, or something legally protected through association alone?

Kind of fascinating how certain lettering styles become culturally “claimed” even if nobody technically invented them.
