Font pairs

Open ivan-kleshnin opened this issue 6 years ago • 8 comments

Hi guys. Thank you for this awesome font and for all the hard work it took to made it!

Maybe it's not the best place to ask but I'd like other people to share their preferred font pairings with Inter. I'm particularly interested in Serif and Mono couplings.

I totally realize there are endless combinations... but still if you discovered some exceptional pairings – please share :)

P.S. feel free to close this issue if it doesn't fit your guidelines. Or rename the title, etc.

Roboto Mono, Inconsolata and Hack all works pretty well with Inter. Roboto Mono in particular has a very similar x-height and cap height.

I recently tried Inter/IBM Plex Mono pair and in my opinion, it’s the best font pairing that involves monospaced one.

Is there any recommendations for serif font pairing?

I can update this now, JetBrains Mono is really a good choice in pairing with Inter. You can mind that.

Something like Georgia or New York (by Apple)... Did not find an other yet.

I don’t know if this is really what anyone wants but I’m mixing Inter with Fira Sans Italic since I wanted to use an italic with a little more character. If you increase Fira Sans by ×1.033em it just about matches perfectly. The weight isn’t an exact match but I haven’t fiddled with that yet (Fira Sans doesn’t come as a variable font so you’d need to tweak Inter to match it rather than vice versa).
