Monospaced version

Open donysukardi opened this issue 6 years ago • 38 comments

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.

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.

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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 🙈

will love the mono version!

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.

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.

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.

@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 ;)

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

+1, monospace would be great!

I think that Roboto Mono fits better currently.

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.
