Sorry. I have modified FCP files of the second post, and reuploaded them to the second post. Because I have found that I could edit my posts and original FCP files in the second post could be improved. I will no longer do things that will break my promise.
Nice work, thanks for sharing PenSerif!
It has a pleasant handwritten look and the monospaced design gives it a clear and consistent rhythm. The CC0 license is also very generous.
Thanks for contributing it to the gallery.

I think I have chosen wrong GSUB features, I should use Alternative Substitution or Character Variant, rather than Stylistic Set. My purpose is make each of some code-points has two or more glyphs, then users could select the glyph for displaying the character, each glyph for displaying one of appearances of a character could be different with other appearances of the same character. If CV works, I will redefine SS as CV since version 3.
It is Alternate instead of Alternative. Character Variant means CV.
I will rename SS glyphs as salt (Alternate Substitution) since the version 3.
I renamed SS as CV. Hope it will work as what I hope.
I said wrong - salt is not Alternate Substitution, which I actually mean.
Alternate Substitution is actually I need, not I mean, very sorry that I said wrong again.
Alternate Substitution is actually I need, instead of I mean, very sorry that I said wrong again.
I think your previous decision to use Character Variants (cv01, cv02, etc.) was actually the right one.
Alternate Substitution is a GSUB lookup type, not an OpenType feature by itself. A Character Variant feature can use an Alternate Substitution lookup to provide two or more glyph appearances for a specific character.
Character Variants are specifically intended for cases where individual characters have alternative forms that the user may choose. Stylistic Sets are more suitable when a stylistic change applies to a broader group of characters.
So based on your description, I recommend using Character Variants.
