Great work on the font 😄

Could stylistic alternatives be provided for some glyphs, such as f, a and y similar to other monospaced fonts?
e.g. a tail for f, single-storey a, and an italic y
These styles will give more character and distinction to the italic font.

The second question I had was regarding the tilt of the italics. It seems like the tilt axis of the current italic font is approximately 15˚. Could a stylistic set be created where the tilt axis is around 8-10˚ for a less drastic tilt?
The current skew makes it seem like the software in use is trying to render a regular font as italic.

The more I use this font, the more I like the ~15˚ tilt. Stylistic sets for italic characters would be great though.
