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 will be good to make coffee with. Period.

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 More importantly Kod was a side proje

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 encourages software creators to be more experime

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 thoughts. For instance, the bend of the “t”, “f” et al just

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 interview or article :–)

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 "proportional numbers"—the inverse of tabular nu

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 as far as most people are concerned. The goal with Interface

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 to actually lo

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 ambiguity, pace, and so on. Every typeface needs to go in

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 meantime, you can use https://rsms.me/interface

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 words and sentences read. The

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 has a feature for comparing Interface wit
