## What it is
Inter is an open-source (OFL-1.1) sans-serif typeface family designed for computer screens, featuring a variable font format, true italics, optical size ranges, and extensive OpenType features. It is one of the world's most widely used UI typefaces, distributed via GitHub releases, CDN, npm, and Linux package managers.

## Use cases
- find a free sans-serif font for a web app UI
- use a variable font with multiple weights in CSS
- install a readable screen font on macOS, Windows, or Linux
- get a font with tabular numbers and slashed zero for data tables
- self-host a webfont instead of using Google Fonts
- pick a typeface for dashboards and product interfaces

## When to choose
- you need a legible, neutral UI font for apps or websites
- you want variable font weights and optical sizes in one file
- you need an open-source license (OFL) safe for commercial use
- you want tabular numbers, contextual alternates, and true italics

## When to avoid
- you need a decorative or display-only typeface
- you require extensive non-Latin script coverage beyond its 147 languages
- you depend on Google Fonts hosting, which lags behind the official releases
