## About Inter Tight

Inter Tight is a sans serif family that takes the letterforms of Inter and sets them closer together. The official description calls it a specialised version of Inter for display usage: spacing that suits small text looks loose in a headline, and this cut closes it up. The shapes themselves stay those of Inter, with a tall lowercase, even strokes and plain, open forms. Roman and italic are each a variable font with a single axis, weight, from 100 to 900, which yields nine named weights and 18 styles. Inter Tight has no optical size axis. The fonts hold 2,542 glyphs and cover Latin, Cyrillic, Greek and Vietnamese, including the extended Cyrillic and Greek ranges. Rasmus Andersson is the designer, the copyright notice names The Inter Project Authors, and the family was added to Google Fonts in 2022.

## Where it works

- **Headlines and hero text**: Tighter spacing keeps large lines compact, so a headline reads as one block instead of spread-out letters.
- **Large numbers and titles in apps**: Screen titles, prices and dashboard totals set big keep the tall, plain Inter shapes in a denser setting.
- **One design across sizes**: A product that sets its text in Inter can use Inter Tight for display sizes and keep the same letterforms.
- **Posters and slides**: Black 900 and ExtraBold 800 give heavy titles, while Thin 100 gives a light contrast at the same size.
- **Headings in several scripts**: With 2,542 glyphs, the tight spacing is available for Cyrillic, Greek and Vietnamese headings as well as Latin.

## Things to know

- **The spacing differs, not the letters**: Inter Tight uses the letterforms of Inter. The change is in how closely the letters are set.
- **Weight is the only axis**: Each file has a weight axis from 100 to 900 and no optical size or width axis.
- **Two variable files**: The download contains one variable file for the roman styles and one for the italics.
