@john Thank you for the feedback! Yes, the M is more problematic than what I thought, especially at this size. Thanks for mentioning it, it will be a high priority to fix it.
The Italic variant is a font, but this one is just using some transform filter, and I probably put too much angle in it. A fun fact, the Bold and Italic of Patrick Hand is actually faux bold and italic, generated by Qt probably in Krita text tool. So, the faux italic of PatrickHand is actually better than my italic. 😆
