An innovative superfamily of fonts for code

AI summary of the linked article

Monaspace is a superfamily of five monospaced fonts with three variable axes (weight, width and slant), built by GitHub Next and the type foundry Lettermatic. Its headline technique, texture healing, evens out uneven density in monospaced type by swapping letters for variants that give up or extend into whitespace, using the OpenType "contextual alternates" feature while keeping the monospace grid. The weight axis runs from 200 to 800, the width axis from 100 to 125, and the slant axis from 0 to -11 degrees, and the fonts also include code ligatures organized into stylistic sets.
