Description

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with type.today in any way.

First and foremost, thank you for creating and maintaining a desperately needed open-source good-looking neutral neo-grotesque that supports Cyrillic.

Mikhail Strukov, Yury Ostromentsky and Ilya Ruderman of type.today, one of the most respected experts on Cyrillic, reviewed Inter as a part of their review of neo-grotesques available on Google Fonts. Full text of the review is available here: https://type.today/en/journal/neo#Inter.

They pointed out issues and suggested improvements to the design of Inter's Cyrillic. It would be amazing if you could take a look at the review and consider this feedback. If needed, I could open issues for everything pointed out by type.today.
