Environment

Cascadia Code version number: 2105.24
Application (with version) used to display text: not relevant
OS platform and version: not relevant
Screen resolution (i.e. 220dpi): not relevant

Steps to reproduce

1. Use Cascadia Code v2105.24
2. Write something that involves a lowercase L, lowercase Y, and possibly some others

Expected behavior

A consistent slant for every glyph (except for block glyphs and similar "graphic" ones)

Actual behavior

I will use this screenshot of a doc comment to illustrate:

In an attempt to highlight the differences in perceived slants I added vertical pipes between the lines, while forcing my editor to use a small line height.

So first of all, I want to acknowledge that this is somewhat subjective, and that I might be alone in "reading" these glyphs this way. Having said that, to me the cursive lowercase L feels almost straight. The other glyphs appear to "align" with the slanted vertical pipe characters above and below their lines (although the lowercase Y also appears a bit less slanted than the rest of the glyphs, but it's not as jarring).

I know this is very nitpicky, and I don't want to criticize the designers of the cursive set - I think their design is cute overall, and I'm aware that font design is an art as much as a science, and more importantly that it's an incredible hassle to get it to "feel" just right. However, when quickly skimming text any cursive L's in the text really stand out a lot to me, kind of like how a single bold glyph among non-bold glyphs would stand out. They don't "disappear" into the whole word but break into individual characters, if that makes sense. And I think it's largely because of this difference in (perceived) slant.

(on a similar note the lowercase R breaks with the x-height in a way that makes dendrogram read a bit "wobbly", but that's probably overdoing the nitpicking)
