Iosevka, my absolutely most loved font for years!

I've been using a custom version - you can customize the font¹ and build your own ttf (or better yet, ttc) using the build system supplied in the repository².

be5invis, the author of the font, deserves a special mention for creating a whole custom DSL called PatEL (Parametric Type Expression Language) to generate the font programmatically!

Renzhi, if you ever come around to read this, thank you so much for Iosevka, man!

That explains all of the .ptl source files, which I didn't recognize straightaway.

> ttf (or better yet, ttc)

Why is ttc better?

It's a package of ttfs, simpler to have all in one file on disk as well as install from one. Customization can generate a lot of font varieties.
