Rasmus Andersson leads the Inter project, and the family reads like a typeface that was drawn for screens first. The x-height is tall, so mixed-case and lower-case text stays clear at small sizes in dashboards, forms and long documents.
Inter also carries the small details interface designers ask for. Contextual alternates adjust punctuation to the letters around it, a slashed zero tells 0 and o apart, and tabular numbers line up neatly in columns. It is a variable font with a weight axis from 100 to 900 and an optical size axis from 14 to 32, covering Latin, Latin Extended, Cyrillic, Greek and Vietnamese.
The ZIP holds 18 static TTF files, one per weight in upright and italic, plus the two variable fonts. Google Fonts added Inter in January 2020.

Font pairings
Inter keeps a neutral voice, so it takes a serif with more personality well. Try Playfair Display or Lora for headings, or JetBrains Mono when a page needs code samples.
Licence & credit
Inter is designed by Rasmus Andersson and released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. That makes it free for personal and commercial use: logos, packaging, websites, apps, videos and print. You can bundle it in your own projects and modify it. You cannot sell the font files by themselves, and the licence text stays with them. Our guide to the SIL Open Font License explains what that means in practice. The family is also on Google Fonts and its source is on the project page.
