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.

I simply wanted a font license that wouldn’t be a pain in the ass for me as a designer. yeptype.com/article/on-t...

High-legibility set (ss02) on. Unifora for signs, codes, and anywhere a misread costs you.
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.

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.
Finished adding punctuation to Unifora—case-sensitive marks included. Currency and symbol set coming soon.
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.
Unifora includes 2 alternate forms of the glyph ‘a’: ‘a’ with a tail and a single‑storey ‘a.’
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.
Calling sans-serif fonts “inhuman” is what’s actually inhuman.
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.
I love æ and œ, but they gave me a real challenge in Unifora’s uniwidth design 😅
A type designer’s dream: hi-res screens everywhere. No hinting headaches, clean edges, better readability. uxdesign.cc/why-fonts-lo...

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.
