  • The requested variant shape does not go too far away from Iosevka's design.
  • The requested variant does not conflict with any characters in Unicode that Iosevka currently supports.
  • At least two monospace/programming fonts, created by different designers, supported the requested variant. Provide images below.

For the following three fonts, their lower tau (τ) takes on a form closer to a single-legged lower Pi (π)

Anonymous Pro also has a short-tailed lower Iota:

Really, do you need this detailed difference?
It is lucky that τ will only introudce 1 new glyph.

(I also added back the old tailed shape for i, l, iota and tau. Named as "semi-tailed".)
(t is not influenced as its shapes are not shared with i and l.)
