The story behind Interface

- Interface 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 Interface, 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 rythm and smoother vertical and horizontal stems. - As Interface was being developed, it was tested on an internal version of - Figma—where the author of Interface works as a designer—and slowly improved upon based on experience and feedback. -

- -

Current status & usability

- Interface works great for English–language text, and pretty well for other - Latin and Cyrillic languages. There's still a lot of work to be done, and - contributions are warmly welcomed. The playground contains a lot of samples, including some common non English–language words in the playground. -

- Please refer to the glyph repertoire - for an overview of currently–available glyphs and their quality. -
