    The Inter font family

  • I love Inter- it’s the first free font I’ve found with great and useful features[1]

  • public-sans

    A strong, neutral, principles-driven, open source typeface for text or display

  • I've loved using Inter for a long time, and I'm glad they finally fixed some odd kerning/letter spacing issues between certain letters that always bothered me and prevented me from using it on projects.

    I think Inter is getting more popular (since it's free) and replacing other popular ones like Circular that cost an arm and a leg, and pretty "look the same" in the lay-person's eyes.

    There's a whole slew of similar, free typefaces now: Public Sans (https://public-sans.digital.gov/), Work Sans (https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Work+Sans), Metropolis (https://fontsarena.com/metropolis-by-chris-simpson/)

  • pretendard

    어느 플랫폼에서든 사용할 수 있는 system-ui 대체 글꼴 | A system-ui alternative font for all cross-platform

  • plex

    The package of IBM’s typeface, IBM Plex.

  • Do the variations of letter glyphs have unique names? Like the curly vs simplified versions of lower case 'a' and 'g'?

    Adobe's Source Code Pro uses curly glyphs for the normal typeface and simplified for italics, which seems backwards to me.

    I greatly prefer the simplified glyphs for programming. Like IBM's Plex.

    I can't quickly refind the customizable font project with source code, where you recompile the typeface with the options you want.

  • Office-Code-Pro

    Customized version of Source Code Pro

  • There's also Office Code Pro [1], a variant with slashed zeroes, less stylized bangs and different lowercase "i" and "g", among other subtleties.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
