Re: The Interface font family
#2I actually came across this yesterday and set it as a system font on my Linux machine, which runs Elementary.
Although I don't have a HIDPI display, it is nicer and (subjectively) more readable than what I've tried before (I still use Fira Code for coding and Fira Mono inside the terminal, but for the UI tried various variations of Fira, Roboto and other sans serif fonts, yet none of them stuck).

#3A disproportionate sans serif without any letter spacing. It's free though, so better than nothing.
Edit: Dear downvoters, what I am saying is that you can take any ramdom sans serif, reduce the letter-spacing and you end up with a similar looking font face which might be even more balanced. Despite my criticism, I expressed my high appreciation that the creator offers his work for free. If you disagree let me know why instead of downvoting, maybe I am wrong and missed something.

#4Very very clean. I love it. The easier read the better imho.

Absolutely valid criticism for a font. The page hurt to read.

I wondered if I was the only one to feel dizzy. Maybe it was the colors.

#7It's nearly identical to the new Mac OS system font San Francisco (SF) but with tighter spacing and (subjectively to me) nicer finials and terminals. Looks great.

#8I'm sure this is like tabs vs spaces for typographists, but why the hell do people make and use sans-serif fonts? Even ignoring aesthetics, the fact that there are horrendous ambiguities (like between I and l) renders these fonts completely inappropriate for computational tasks like copying passwords or secret keys. I have run into this problem multiple times on OS X and iOS, where the password managers use sans serif fonts.

By "disproportionate", do you mean "badly proportioned", or merely "proportional" as opposed to monospace?

#10This is based on Roboto (reusing some outlines directly; not initially acknowledged by the designer on the marketing site), and arguably doesn't tread much new ground either in character or use-case or license. Not convinced there is anything this adds to an already crowded space.
