Beautiful typeface, but f and r glyphs don't quite harmonize with the rest about juliamono HOT 6 CLOSED

I added ss09 - alternate f in v0.015: (top: inactive, bottom: active)

I'm not 100% sure, but it's early days... :)

Hi there! Thank you for your interest and comments, they're much appreciated!

I can easily add alternate glyphs - I don't think there's any restriction on the number of stylistic sets we can have...

One of the things I had in mind was to make sure that all the letters were easily distinguishable, since it's aimed entirely for coding, and not everyone has 5K retina iMacs... :) Perhaps this goes against an important principle of type design (about which I know very little but find fascinating :)) that the letters should all harmonize with each other, offer consistent shapes, etc. So in a way the "r" actually works better if it is out of place - no chance of being confused with other letters on low-resolution Windows monitors... Anyway, I can see your point of view, and it probably makes good sense.

I'll explore your suggestion of a different "f" - there's a good basis for a re-design:

The alternate f is perfect, thanks! If you find the time for another alternate please tweak the design of the r as well, e.g. by making the stem completely straight. When the r is seen out of an English context (e.g. r = ...) its cursive style almost makes it look like a lower case gamma.
