A while ago, Inter UI was introduced on HN. I decided to give it a shot and personally I'm more satisfied with it than many paid fonts like, say, Helvetica.

Lots of people have suggested adding Inter UI to this project. I've held off for two reasons: the creator, Rasmus, has built a very good site for the typeface himself and the typeface is under active development, which means my overview would constantly be in danger of being out of date.

For the sake of people who will be very happy to discover it, please do add it (unless you think it doesn't deserve a place on your list).

IMHO, regarding your concerns: (1) You can have a prominent link to the Inter UI site, as I'd expect you would to any typeface's web home. (2) Every typeface you include has gone through a bunch of revisions. Even if you don't yet have an automated way of handling updates, there's still value in the aggregation.

Why does it matter if it is out-of-date?
