Inter is a typeface carefully crafted & designed for computer screens. Inter features a tall x-height to aid in readability of mixed-case and lower-case text. Several OpenType features are provided as well, like contextual alternates that adjusts punctuation depending on the shape of surrounding glyphs, slashed zero for when you need to disambiguate "0" from "o", tabular numbers, etc. Using Inter is as easy as downloading & installing the font files.

You simply provide the optical font size, and the tracking and leading is calculated for you to produce the best results. Inter is a free and open source font family.
