## Description

iA-Fonts is a collection of open-source writing fonts and a variable font family tailored to create a calm and homogenous visual image for authors. It provides a monospace typographic set and variable-width typefaces designed to optimize text alignment and character discernibility.

The project utilizes modified open-source glyphs to implement a variable font system that interpolates between monospaced and proportional widths. This allows for a balance between reading rhythm and flow through adjustable weight and width axes.

The system focuses on digital document styling and writing workflow typography, implementing fixed-width and duospace fonts to maintain a clean structural aesthetic during the drafting process.
