Do the variations of letter glyphs have unique names? Like the curly vs simplified versions of lower case 'a' and 'g'?
I greatly prefer the simplified glyphs for programming. Like IBM's Plex.
Adobe's Source Code Pro uses curly glyphs for the normal typeface and simplified for italics, which seems backwards to me.

I can't quickly refind the customizable font project with source code, where you recompile the typeface with the options you want.
