Issues with cyrillic letters "К" and "ц"
Description
The cyrillic letters К(uppercase only) and ц(lowercase only) look bad.
The К has too wide upper leg in bold weights and unproportional center bar in light weights. The lowercase к and Ж in both cases look great.
Ц's descender is separated from the glyph that causes space between them and misalignment in small sizes. The upper-case glyph looks also great.
I compared this glyphs with Roboto's glyphs in above picture:
Environment
- OS: Windows 10
- Chrome, Photoshop
- Inter 3.11
With 6bc8f9554820e50fa1af57e83919d49999ad07c6
So, I am not a graphic designer, but I am a native Cyrillic person, so I hope these tips will be helpful
First of all, the descenders on ц and щ should be identical because they are pretty much the same letter with a different amount of "poles".
Secondly, the descenders on both ц and щ are sticking out too far on the right, and you should move them left by 50% of their width.
Also, the descender on ц is moved down a bit and not slanted like щ, you should probably fix that.
Here's a Figma file with my fix ideas:

I really love Inter, but these letters are dealbreakers for me
Hi @rsms! Thanks for updating to 3.12. However, there is still some issues with cyrillic glyphs. I would fix them by yourself and make a pull request, but I don't have a Mac. So I've made a Figma file with my improvements.

Thank you @sk1nzz! The file 404s for me. Did you perhaps delete it or change permissions?
Thank you @Derpitron for fixing Ka and ka in #423
