I keep 60+ neo-grotesks on hand. Fewer than a third have vertical metrics that actually center a label on a button. Here’s how to spot the ones that do—and 10 Inter and SF alternatives that qualify. yeptype.com/article/inte...

How to choose a UI font (and 10 Inter alternatives)
Tired of Inter being everywhere? Two real criteria—cap-centered vertical metrics and a tall x-height—for choosing a UI font, plus 10 alternatives from independent foundries.

Ever noticed a logo or book cover leaning the ‘wrong’ way? That’s retalic type—here’s why it grabs attention, and where designers can use it. yeptype.com/article/when...

When to use retalic fonts
When to use retalic (reversed italic) fonts in branding, book covers, UI design, and motion — with real examples, and when to skip them

Unifora is uniwidth. That means each character takes up the same horizontal space, whatever weight or slant you pick. A Thin Retalic “U,” a Bold upright “U,” and a Black Italic “U”—all exactly the same width.

Square dots, square vibes. Unifora’s ss01 swaps every round dot for a square one.

See the difference? Left one’s dancing. Right one’s steady, thanks to Unifora’s tabular figures (tnum).

Slant goes both ways. −18° italic on one side, +18° retalic on the other. 36° total, no stops in between.

3 things I learned designing a uniwidth font www.reddit.com/r/typography...
Wireframe diagram of the letters G, a, and g in Unifora, each shown at multiple weights stacked on top of each other as contour lines. Vertical guides mark the advance width boundaries, showing all weights land at identical widths.Two-panel diagram. Left panel: the letter i shown in Thin and Black weights, with red hatching filling the excess side-bearing space, illustrating that a wide Thin i leaves awkward spacing. Right panel: once i side-bearings are resolved, n and Black n are drawn to fit within the same total width without red hatching.Four pairs of AV in Unifora: Thin upright, Black upright, Thin italic, Black italic. Each pair shows the same −40 kern value marked in red, demonstrating that kerning must stay identical across all masters in a uniwidth family.Top row: three H glyphs — retalic, upright, and a comma following upright — showing that H spacing stays even when slanted because both stems run full height. Bottom row: three O glyphs. The slanted O has red hatching showing uneven space. The middle O shows the alternate comma designed to compensate. The right O shows the default upright comma for comparison.

The fonts used on yaroslav.io are Unifora by @yeptype.bsky.social (main font) and Berkeley Mono "TX-02" (mono) by U.S. Graphics Company. They make a great pair, WDYT? Both available as variable fonts. Unifora pricing is a steal.

17px is the sweet spot for Unifora and Innovator Grotesk. At that size, capitals land exactly on the pixel grid. I pre-calculated other sizes where the same thing happens, each paired with a matching line height. Find the full table in the fonts’ user manuals.
Innovator Grotesk letters "Hn" rendered at 17 px and magnified 1600%, showing capital H strokes aligned precisely to the pixel grid with no sub-pixel blurring on edges.

Pre-calculated CSS fallback font metrics for Unifora and Innovator Grotesk. No more layout shift guesswork. Grab the snippets from the user manuals. - www.yeptype.com/article/unif... - www.yeptype.com/article/inno...
Unifora user manual — Fallback font metrics section: introductory paragraph explaining CSS font metric overrides to minimize layout shift, followed by a code block showing a tuned Arial @font-face definition with ascent-override 93.4%, descent-override 24.2%, line-gap-override 0%, size-adjust 102%, and a body rule setting the font-family stack to Unifora Standard with the fallback.

8/8 — Smart behaviors The details you don’t expect: the colon auto-centers vertically with figures when you type a time like 9:41. The em dash does the same in ranges. Math symbols and brackets detect equation context and align themselves. The kind of polish you feel before you notice.
100
Yep! Type Foundry @yeptype.bsky.social · 08/04/2026
7/8 — Alternates 11 character alternates: G without spur, tailed a, single-storey a, double-storey g, open figures, and more. Mix and match to dial the personality exactly where you need it. One font family, countless brand voices.

Yep! Type Foundry @yeptype.bsky.social · 08/04/2026
6/8 — Legibility set Stylistic Set 2 activates the high-legibility set. Disambiguates uppercase I from lowercase l, capital O from zero, and more. Use it for wayfinding, navigation, data tables, maps—anywhere misreading a character has consequences.
120
Yep! Type Foundry @yeptype.bsky.social · 08/04/2026
5/8 — Square punctuation By default, Unifora uses round punctuation. Turn on Stylistic Set 1 and it switches to square. One toggle, completely different character. Same font.

Yep! Type Foundry @yeptype.bsky.social · 08/04/2026
4/8 — Extended slant axis Most italics stop at 12°. Unifora goes to 18°—and it goes both ways. Italic and retalic. The slant axis runs from −18° to +18°. That’s a full 36° of continuous expression from a single variable font.

The corner cuts aren’t just decoration. Uniwidth spacing is tight by nature, so those cuts carve out breathing room where characters would otherwise collide.

Yep! Type Foundry @yeptype.bsky.social · 08/04/2026
3/8 — Visual identity The design sits on two signature moves: straight segments in round glyphs (O, o) and corner cuts on diagonal terminals (V, v). The straight segments bring a hint of DIN—but only a hint. Unifora carries engineering DNA without becoming a rigid technical font.
110
Yep! Type Foundry @yeptype.bsky.social · 08/04/2026
2/8 — Screen optimization Unifora is built for screens. Vertical metrics are tuned so text sits perfectly centered on buttons and next to icons. Character heights land on the pixel grid at working sizes. Full hinting is included. If you’re designing UI, this font is ready to ship.
110
Yep! Type Foundry @yeptype.bsky.social · 08/04/2026
Unifora is uniwidth (aka multiplex or duplexed). Every character keeps the same width across all weights, widths, and slants. Words, lines, and paragraphs don’t shift. Layout stays rock solid.

Yep! Type Foundry @yeptype.bsky.social · 08/04/2026
1/8 — Uniwidth design Here’s the problem: you set a button label in Regular. User hovers, it switches to Bold. The text gets wider, the layout jumps.

I spent 2 years on a single constraint: every weight, every width, every slant—same character widths. Today Unifora is out. A uniwidth variable sans-serif superfamily. 135 fonts. Industrial edge, architectural precision. Let me walk you through it.

Unifora feels like a natural match for a car brand. The slanted styles suggest motion, and tabular figures keep live numbers easy to read. (Sound on)

Currency symbols in Unifora are a bit smaller than the numbers, which helps prices look more balanced.

The double-storey g is another character alternate available in Unifora. It adds a more humanist touch to Unifora’s otherwise industrial and brutalist feel.

In Unifora, accents on capitals are shortened to improve the look and spacing of all-caps multilingual settings.

Pick a paid font if you want your product to stand out. Most your competitors use free fonts and end up looking the same. Spend a few dollars on type, and even plain black text on white will feel distinct.

One step closer: the Eszett aka sharp S aka double S is done. Both uppercase and lowercase took 14 extra masters each to get right.

2/2 I believe that, sooner or later, most type foundries will move away from today’s overly complex font licenses. Well done, Displaay! Welcome to the club, and good luck!

1/2 “The new licensing model strips away the usual complexity. Instead of tracking device counts, managing web traffic metrics, or navigating tiered user structures, it comes down to one question: how many people work at the company? That’s it.” This is new licensing from the Displaay foundry.
