Raveo
Raveo is a warmer version of the open-source typeface Inter. Inter is one of the highest quality typefaces around. It is almost the default for digital products nowadays. This project builds on top of Inter with a fork that shifts it slightly towards imperfection and human touch, while doubling down on the sturdiness.
New characters
There are a few redrawn letters.
- Lowercase “a” with a tail.
- Uppercase “R” with a curled leg.
Baked stylistic choices
Raveo uses some characters from Inter’s stylistic sets by default, like the “G” with a spur, or the alternate "1". This is baked in.
Shifted weights
The locations of the most commonly used named weights on the variable weight axis are moved. This results in slightly darker appearance. When using the variable font, you can use numbers to overwrite this to the classic Inter weight locations (e.g. 500 will get you the same weight as in Inter Medium). In Raveo, the named weight changes are:
- Medium is 520 instead of 500
- SemiBold is 630 instead of 600
- Bold is 730 instead of 700
Subsetted weights
Raveo is distributed mainly with subsetted weights to the range between Regular–Bold. This way, the variable font file is around 100 KB. This should cover most of use cases for the web. Full set is also available. The font remains variable.
Other modifications
- The whole glyph set is heavily subsetted towards extended latin.
- There are not italics at this point.
