Refraktury

A font no one asked for, with no discernible use case, Refraktury (inspired by Volker Busse's F25 Blackletter Typewriter font) is a monospaced black letter font, suitable for typesetting math the hard way, illegible code listings, and oddly kerned newspaper marquees. It's a simplified mix of several different styles, mostly Fraktur and Schwabacher. It covers the ISO Latin-1 block, because why in the world would you care if it covers anything else?!

well done.
It looks good; the mix of styles is rather successful, 'opening' it to make reading it easier than many of the blackletter fonts. I like the F,X,z, ß and £. But I have problems with the S as it looks too much like the 6, and I found that the monospace made my long sample text rather 'jumpy'. Overall a pleasing design though.
Great, but capital S looks way too much like capital G. Otherwise, great job. 9/10
I'm a sucker for unconventional monospaced fonts, so I find this pretty awesome.
I've tweaked the S as per commenter request. Since I'm not really trying to stay true to any one blackletter style to begin with, it's a reasonable request.
I have considered doing a proportional version, but I imagine it would do away with the intentional oddity. Thumbs up/down?
New S looks great, thanks :) Try a proportional one if you want to, nobody's stopping you, although it might look a bit generic compared to this one, but hey, it's your font.
Very nice, but unfortunately seems not to be compatible with Windows Terminal
Asked for, sought after, and as far as I can tell darn near perfect for what I wanted to do.
The lowercase k is a bit hard to read at this size, that's about the only real readability concern I have.
Thank you for not skimping on the characterset, really is magnificent.
