Descripción

I really love this font but there's one glyph that bothers me: italic lower case Ukrainian ґ (ghe with upturn, U+0491). For me (I'm Ukrainian) the chosen shape looks very unusual: it is too narrow (see the last image).

Could you please consider changing this glyph?

In my opinion, `ґ` must have a significant top bar/arc (even the italic one). Currently it almost looks like a vertical-ish stroke with an attached "accent" (like a weird `i` or a very tiny integral sign). Sorry, I don't know the font terminology.

For reference, here's how we are taught to write `ґ`:

I've never edited the fonts before but I tried to create a quick and dirty mock-up to show the rough shape I want the letter to have: I just moved the "upturn" 80-ish units rightwards

Also here are a few examples of italic fonts from Google Fonts that generally have the shape I expect:

Minor nitpick: I don't quite like the bottom rightward curl that Times New Roman's and Brygada 1918's `ґ` have, but that's not a big deal. I do like the bottom leftward curl that your `ґ` has — it seems very logical when compared with the handwritten `ґ`.
