## 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 it works

- **Interface copy**: Even stroke weight and a large x-height, adjusted for screens, keep menus and labels readable.
- **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.

## Things to know

- **One weight**: Inder is Regular 400 only. Without bold or italic, emphasis needs another device or another family.
- **Single-storey a**: The lowercase a has the round one-storey form, which some readers confuse with o at very small sizes.
- **Latin only**: Latin and Latin Extended are covered; Cyrillic, Greek and Vietnamese are not.
