Build your own style

Iosevka comes with several visual styles, however they are inactive using the default build. To build these variants you should use style variables in the make procedure:

• STYLE_COMMON for both uprights and italics,
• STYLE_UPRIGHT for uprights only, and
• STYLE_ITALICS for itaics only.

You can add arbitary styles for these variables, for example, make STYLE_UPRIGHT='v-l-zshaped v-i-zshaped' to create a variant with Z-shaped letter l and i for uprights.

The current avaliable styles are:

• Styles for letter l:
  • v-l-hooky : Hooky l
  • v-l-zshaped : Z-shaped l
  • v-l-serifed : Serifed l (default for upright subfamilies)
  • v-l-italic : Italic l (default for italic subfamilies)
• Styles for letter i:
  • v-i-hooky : Hooky i
  • v-i-zshaped : Z-shaped i
  • v-i-serifed : Serifed i (default for upright subfamilies)
  • v-l-italic : Italic i (default for italic subfamilies)
