<ahref="https://github.com/rsms/interface/releases/latest/">download & installing</a> locally on your computer.
</p>
<p>
You're free to bundle copies of Interface with your software, even if it's
commercial and you charge money for your software. Interface can also be used
on the web by either hosting the font files yourself or by including this CSS:
<ahref="https://github.com/rsms/interface/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md">contributions are warmly welcomed</a>. The playground contains <ahref="lab/?sample=Body%20text%201&size=16">a lot of samples</a>, including some common <ahref="lab/?sample=Kerning%20body%20multi-lang&size=16">non English–language words in the playground.</a>

<ahref="https://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/name.htm#nameIDs">a set of information embedded into every font</a> for identity, so names are only
important for humans, not computers, and so you need not to worry about
"conflicts." At least not with well-behaved software.

Can I help with improving Interface?
</li>
<liclass="a">
Yes you can! Interface is an open–source project, meaning the source
code—or "source design" if you will—that is used to build the font files
<ahref="https://github.com/rsms/interface">are freely available</a> to improve upon.
Font making requires a fair bit of technical work and
depending on what you'd like to do, some things might be more fun
depending on your technical skills.
The <ahref="https://github.com/rsms/interface/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md">"Contributing" document</a> is a great place to start. The document outlines where
you can have the biggest impact, how things are setup and how to get
started.

<liclass="q"id="faq-start-date">
This website claims work started in 2016, but the git repository's log says it started later?
</li>
<liclass="a">
Interface was developed in an a private, internal git repository
starting in November 2016, prior to being published on August 22, 2017.
Between November 2016 and August 2017, there were 2 990 150 line edits made across 247 versions.
The reason the public github repository does not reflect this is the
fact that the project was initially only internal at the company where
the author works and had some sensitive information "checked in",
like AWS server details and internal author identity in
all commit messages. Maybe one day we can write an elaborate git
filter-branch program and convert the filter the old repository to make
it public, but what would be the point of that? :—)
