Perhaps the author lives in a place with bad tap water, like where you don’t drink it if you can avoid it. I’ve visited a few places like that. If the tap water is good to drink it…

Hello! Wow, cool to hear you followed along with Kod. It did ship and was used by a bunch of people. Its code is open source and still up on the github: https://github.com/rsms/kod…

Hello, person behind Playbit here. Happy to hear you like some of the concepts :-) My hopes with Playbit is to create a "setting", a "scenery", really an environment which encourag…

That website is 90% shady ads and 10% article. Even if this is an actual legit article, the way it’s presented here takes away any chance of me taking this seriously.

Well observed. There are a myriad of influences in Inter, some from existing fonts, some from graphic design and shapes I’ve seen in my surroundings and some ideas that grew out of…

Hello, I’m Rasmus. I’d love to dig deeper into these subjects — the details into rasterization and realities of layout engines (or “shapers”) that are out there. Perhaps in another…

Tabular numbers added and will be included in the next release (1.2) https://github.com/rsms/interface/issues/10#issuecomment-324...

Normally this is done with "tabular numbers", an alternate set of glyphs in the font where all digit glyphs is equally wide. However, another feature a font can provide is "proport…

Actually, I think you want to compare apples & apples, meaning Font A and Font B at the same size and line height.

Thanks for the thoughtful comment. Indeed really small sizes like 11px, distinguishing factors are few and even San Francisco and Roboto start looking like the same font, at least …

Roboto is already being loaded from google fonts ( https://github.com/rsms/interface/blob/b91dd3af/docs/lab/ind... ) However, I think Chrome might do something weird where it fails…

This is valid commentary and subject to much discussion throughout the recent history of typography. There's always a blance condition between personality, legibility, character am…

Happy to hear this! Would love to see a screenshot of what it looks like (I'm @rsms on Twitter)

Glad you like it. Once Interface reaches a more stable state (i.e. more glyphs and kerning have been added), the intention is to submit it for inclusion on Google fonts. In the mea…

This is by design. A wider "O" would indeed make separating zero from "O" easier (and an earlier iteration of Interface had a wider "O") but it adds some uneven pace to how longer …

Hello Jack. I'm the creator of Interface. Indeed many glyphs's outlines comes from Roboto (though fitted into different glyph boxes.) The "playground" feature of the website even h…
