I'm really surprised that in all of those fonts, Monaco, Monte Carlo, and ProFont Windows are the only ones with single story lowercase "a".

- epidemian 10y agoSome of them use a single story "a" for the italicized form. Consolas, Courier Prime, Envy Code R, Fantasque Sans Mono, Iosevka, Luculent and mononoki, and mabe others that i missed. You can check them out on the "Compare" mode on that page, "var" is rendered in italics :)
- madmalik 10y agoI can only speak for my design process, but i had chosen a double story a for mononoki because a single story a can be really hard to distinguish from an o, especially in a more geometric typeface. Monaco gets away with it because it has very pronounced bowls, but even there it's easy to mistake one for the other.
