Monospaced version

[donysukardi]

It'd be nice if we have a monospaced variant of Inter, something like Roboto Mono and San Francisco Mono. Perhaps even cursive for italic like Operator Mono.

[g-cqd]

I’m not sure a cursive font match Inter design but I agree with you, a monospaced variant of Inter is a really good idea.

[cihantas]

If a monospace variant is considered will it support ligatures like Fira Code?

[be5invis]

There could be two monospace variants:

• Letter width ≈ 0.6em — to use in a western context
• Letter width = 0.5em — to couple with East Asian characters

[Derpitron]

In the website for the font (rsms.me/inter), It shows in the bottom that one of the early designs for Inter '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.'. After this, Inter was rebooted and made more like what it is today. Maybe that monospace prototype of Inter could be revived for this purpose?

[orschiro]

Would be totally amazing and replace Hack as monospace font for me. :-)

[arronhunt]

💯 this would be an awesome enhancement and would allow us to fully adopt Inter

[greg-wolff]

+1 still got my eye on this, really need mono though

[axe312ger]

Came across here about half a year ago. Now setting up my terminal again. Still would love to have a monospaced version.

Can we fund this work effort somehow for @rsms? In case extra bucks would motivate 🙈

[tazhate]

will love the mono version!

[reinhart1010]

I think designing a condensed style (#71) first might be a great idea before doing so for monospace.

Condensed geometric font designs (such as Barlow) might be perfect for both variants for legibility reasons.

[jtrein]

Do it. Monospaced.

I totally second this.

Since I’m here, thanks for your amazing job, @rsms! Inter is great! I’m using it literally everywhere, including my website

Even "just" having monospaced numbers could improve some use cases significantly.

[nahtnam]

I found this font: https://www.recursive.design/ Which somehow lets you specify how much monospacing you want. Maybe Inter can do something similar to this?

@fabiospampinato It's already there and it's a feature called tabular figures. Set font-feature-settings: 'tnum'; in your CSS. Other extra features available are here.

[fabiospampinato]

@quirico That's right! 😨 I need to learn how that works then because I'm building a custom font with only a subset of the glyphs in Inter and I guess that broke this feature for me.

I don't know if you are already using it and if it works for subsetting Inter webfont, but glyphhanger has been a solid solution for me, in the past!

It would be nice to have a non-coding mono space. Basically, I'd like a mono Inter with normal zeros (no inner slash or dot).

+1 for this if it is possible. I'm looking for a monospaced font that I can pair with inter, would be great to just have a monospace version of inter itself for code

Use JetBrains Mono ;)

[uni-0000]

Inter would fit perfectly into a monospaced version, any news or preview?

[IKolpikov]

+1, monospace would be great!

[bobby-tesouro]

+1 !!

I think that Roboto Mono fits better currently.

Also, +1

[Volorf]

usually I need monospace version for numbers. Would be awesome to have it even only for numbers.

Personally I find Monoid to be a very good match.

font-feature-settings: 'tnum';

This is exactly what I was looking for to fix sizing on a grid when using a dynamic clock element. Thank you so much!

[xxKeefer]

another +1 here. i would use the tnums option but i need to render to a canvas element so please Monospace Inter

Wow I didn't know a font could have those feats, you opened a new world for me :) thanks!

[ronasimi]

Inter pairs really well with Commit Mono...

[waterkip]

Inter pairs really well with Commit Mono...

I agree, not too long ago I started using that font in combination with Inter in my UI.

[rsms]

CommitMono works pretty well with Inter indeed, but it's not a perfect match, in particular when it comes to x height. Vertical alignment is also off by a tiny bit (which only affects really large text, so I'd ignore that.)
