# Types of Character Customizations
# 
# <reason>able:       Use these to bring Iosevka closer to Atkinson without
#                     compromising on cross-grapheme geometric harmony.
# <taste>-dependent:  Accurate to Atkinson, but may compromise Iosevka's proportions.
# <question>able:     Discordant with the rest of the font; I advise against them.
# <compromis>ing:     Using these goes against the stated mission of Atkinson, which
#                     is to avoid creating "caricatures" in service of legibility.
