At 11dp with a 2x scaling factor 1 pixel is 128 units, 64 units at a 3x scaling factor and so on. This makes it feasible to really tune Inter for detailed rasterization. + +![Metrics](docs/res/metrics2.png) + Metrics: - UPM: 2816 @@ -91,6 +95,7 @@ Translating between EM units and pixels: There's a Figma workspace for glyphs, with configured metrics: ["Inter glyphs"](https://www.figma.com/file/RtScFU5NETY3j9E0yOmnW4gv/) + ## Supporters A wholehearted **Thank You** to everyone who supports the Inter project! diff --git a/docs/res/metrics2.png b/docs/res/metrics2.png new file mode 100644 index 000000000..f18f3f1a5 Binary files /dev/null and b/docs/res/metrics2.png differ
