Prototype data table demonstrating useful font features
Channel: Vernon Fowler
Date: 2021-01-27

Inter is a variable typeface that has advanced typographic features. 

The toggle at the top switches between Roboto and Inter typefaces. In my data table headers, I've added toggle tips describing font features used in the corresponding column. The font features in this prototype are: stylistic set (for disambiguation), fixed-width tabular numbers, slashed zero, and alternate style digits. Using these font features aids readability especially useful when comparing various kinds of data across table rows.
