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

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