The story behind Inter

-  

-  Inter started out in late 2016 as an experiment to build a perfectly
-  pixel-fitting font at a specific small size (11px.) The idea was that
-  by crafting a font in a particular way, with a particular coordinate system
-  (Units Per EM), and for a particular target rasterization size (11), it would
-  be possible to get the best of both sharpness and readability.
-  

-  

-  However after a few months of using an early version of Inter, it dawned
-  on everyone exposed to the test that this approach had some serious real-world
-  problems. Most notably that it was really hard to read longer text. Because of
-  the pixel-aligning nature of that approach, the font took an almost
-  mono-spaced appearance,
-  making it really easy to read numbers, punctuation and very short
-  words, but eye-straining to read anything longer.
-  

-  

-  The project was rebooted with a different approach, sticking with the
-  specific UPM, but crafting glyphs and kerning in a way that made for
-  more variation in the rhythm and smoother vertical and horizontal stems.
-  As Inter was being developed, it was tested on an internal version of
-  Figma—where the author of Inter works as a designer—and slowly improved upon based on experience and feedback.
