+Inter UI is a typeface specially designed for user interfaces
+with focus on high legibility of small-to-medium sized text on computer screens.
+
+The family features a tall x-height to aid in readability of mixed-case and
+lower-case text. Several OpenType features are provided as well,
+like contextual alternates that adjusts punctuation depending on the shape of
+surrounding glyphs, slashed zero for when you need to disambiguate "0" from "o",
+tabular numbers, etc.
