4.0
This is a grand new release, with over two years of work behind it.
A lot has changed since version 3.x. Thousands of glyphs have been redesigned.
Here are some highlights, compared to the previous version:
- Six additional "Display" designs, assigned to an
opszvariable-font axis, exposed as a second family "Inter Display" as static fonts. - Several new OpenType features
- Humanist-style italics
- Many technical changes (UPM changed to 2048, refined metrics, many improved features, etc)
Compatibility with version 3
Even though the UPM (the font's coordinate system) has changed along with metrics, I've done my best to make sure existing uses of Inter version 3 will look as close to identical as possible for small text sizes, in particular run length.
However you should expect to see noticeable differences when switching to Inter version 4.
4.0-beta9h
This is a beta release of Inter 4.0 which includes significant improvements and features:
- 6 additional "display" designs (assigned to an
opszvariable-font axis) - several new and updated OpenType features
- humanist-style italics with e.g. curved /e and descender on /f
italaxis removed from the variable font (this caused issues with a lot of software; there are simply too many buggy implementations out there.) There are now two variable font files, one with all the upright ("roman") designs and one with italics. This split also allows for a different design of the italic glyphs, as mentioned above
