About Inder

Inder is a sans serif text face with strokes of almost uniform thickness. Its makers describe it as a low-contrast workhorse whose inspiration came from German Art Nouveau lettering and from the architecture of the Amsterdam School, tuned to the limits of screen rendering and usable across a wide range of sizes. The influence shows in the specimen as small departures from a neutral sans: the lowercase a is a single-storey form with a flat top, the capital M and W have splayed sides, the crossbar of the capital A sits low, and curves on letters such as e and c end in horizontal cuts. Proportions are fairly wide with a large x-height. The family is one Regular style with 423 glyphs covering Latin and Latin Extended. It is credited to Sorkin Type and is not a variable font.

Where Inder works

Short text blocks
The makers call it a workhorse text face, usable in summaries, cards and descriptions.
Headings with mild character
The flat-topped single-storey a and splayed M give titles a faint Art Nouveau accent.
Central European and Turkish sites
Latin Extended coverage includes Polish, Czech, Hungarian and Turkish letters.
