According to legend, 3 years ago the Director of Type at Microsoft came to me in a dream and said "you shall replace the serifs of Courier New with rings". And so i did. But i couldn't publish that because Courier New is proprietary. The legend fades in the Twitter archive, but i have transplanted the work to Courier Prime (OFL).
And on this, the 15th day of Advent of Type, i bring you Hermes Ring.

I just merged in Arabic, Greek and Vietnamese characters for my Courier Prime fork: https://github.com/LaPingvino/courier-badi
The foundation is #CourierPrime with the #Cyrillic additions on the official download page, made for #screenwriting
It adds additionally support for #Bahai specific characters and monospace Arabic. Please go test and help me figure out where it needs further tweaking!
Just a random #writing #scriptwriting #script thing, but if you don't already have dedicated #screenplay software, #Trelby is free and works quite well, IMO.
If you're doing #playwright work, then I will instead recommend sticking to @libreoffice #LibreOffice and using #CourierPrime as your font, which is also free, but a lot easier to work with than standard Courier in most software due to compatibility. You can easily replace it with Courier when you're ready if needed.
