Font of the Week
About Inter
This week we share inter, a highly versatile neo-grotesque sans-serif font perfect for digital things like the web and apps. My favorite part about Inter is that it has features optimizing screen-based reading experience. For example, Inter’s lowercase letters have a tall x-height to aid the readability of sentences with mixed-cased texts. This makes Inter perfect for blogs, app interfaces, and even video screens. Information can be read quickly, with ease and clarity.

Typography Jargon Buster!
Display Font
Display fonts are often fonts with unrestrained, decorative details. They look more visually stimulating than restrained, simple fonts used for paragraph text. Display fonts are used at header sizes, grabbing people’s attention immediately. Many display fonts have poor readability in small sizes because of their more ornate shapes. Their font details get lost in small sizes, thus decreasing their legibility.
