# Rootiest Iosevka Fonts
An Iosevka variant for only the rootiest of programmers.
(and anyone else who likes fancy fonts)
This font prefers fancier and curvier character variants and maximum use of ligatures.
The italic forms uses more curves and less "flags" or "tails" than the regular.
The oblique forms also introduce some alternate characters.
## Preview

This font wouldn't be possible without the following projects:

They did all the work here, I just built the font with my preferences.
