Iosevka Curly

Type a k in Iosevka Curly and its leg leaves the stem on a curve. The same bend runs through v, w, x, y and z, and through the capitals A, K, R, V, W, X, Y and Z: wherever the standard build of Iosevka has a straight diagonal, this one swings it. None of those letters carry serifs.

The figures change as well. 2 gets a curved neck and 7 a curved stem, while 6 and 9 leave their tails open. Braces turn curly, which in code is less cosmetic than it sounds, because { and } now look nothing like ( and ) even at small sizes. Greek λ and κ follow suit, with Cyrillic у and я, and in the italic k and y go cursive.

Technically it is Iosevka with the Curly Style set, ss20, switched on by default. Belleve Invis (Renzhi Li) generates the whole family from code for programs, terminals and technical writing, and calls it space efficient. These are the Default-spacing files, with ligatures kept in calt so operator pairs such as -> can join where the editor allows them; a Term version and a Fixed version without ligatures exist in the same package.

18 styles from Thin to Black, each with an italic, 7,758 characters covering Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Armenian, version 34.9.0. The 19 stylistic sets travel along inside the files if you want to mix.

Too playful for a daily editor? We would say no at 13 or 14 px, where the curves read as a softer texture. On a slide at 40 px they become the first thing an audience notices, so decide whether you want that.
