Inter is a variable font: the download holds the whole weight range in one file per style, and the named weights above are positions on that range.

About Inter

Inter is a sans serif family designed for reading on computer screens. Its lowercase letters are tall in relation to the capitals, which keeps small text legible in menus, tables and body copy. The family is built as a variable font with two axes: weight, from 100 to 900, and optical size, from 14 to 32, so the same family can be tuned for small labels and for larger headings. Roman and italic styles each come in nine named weights, 18 styles in total. The fonts hold 2,926 glyphs and cover Latin, Cyrillic, Greek and Vietnamese character sets. OpenType features include a slashed zero, tabular figures and contextual alternates that adapt punctuation to neighbouring characters. Rasmus Andersson leads the Inter project, and the files are published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Inter works

App and web interfaces

The tall lowercase and the 14 to 32 optical size axis keep labels, buttons and form fields readable at small sizes.

Dashboards and tables

Tabular figures line numbers up in columns, and the slashed zero separates 0 from the letter O in codes and IDs.

Long reading on screens

Regular and Medium with their italics cover body text, emphasis and captions in documentation and articles.

Brand systems that need range

Weights from Thin to Black give one family enough contrast for headlines, subheads and small print.

Products in several languages

Latin, Cyrillic, Greek and Vietnamese character sets let one typeface serve several language versions of a product.

Suggestions come from simple rules on the records: a contrasting classification and enough weights to carry body text. They are a starting point, not a verdict.

Use Inter on the web

Download the family and host the files on your own site, then declare them in CSS. Please do not link to the files on trendhub.net: preview files here are subsets and their addresses change.

Things to know

Two variable files

The download contains one variable file for the roman styles and one for the italics. Each holds the full 100 to 900 weight range and the optical size axis.

Optical size runs from 14 to 32

Applications that support automatic optical sizing choose a value from the font size; elsewhere the axis can be set by hand.

No separate static files in the package

The package holds the variable fonts only. Static files for individual weights are available from the official source.
