InterFace Font: Dalton Maag’s Multiscript Sans Family

Dalton Maag’s original catalog identifies InterFace as a sans serif combining humanist, grotesque and industrial features. It records a design-and-development span of 2007–2025 and credits Bruno Maag, Naïma Ben Ayed, Carlos De Toro and Angel Kwong. This guide concerns that particular family, rather than using interface font as a generic name for whichever text appears in an application.

The catalog lists Arabic, Cyrillic, Greek and Latin, nine upright weights with corresponding italics, and static and variable options. It describes a tall x-height, perpendicularly cut terminals, slanted italics and small-cap features. These details explain the family’s breadth; they do not mean every individual package includes every script or every style. Keep the selected files and intended language coverage explicit.

For an original interface study, include a short command, a longer explanation, a table heading and a numeric value. Give the primary action a stable position rather than relying only on the heaviest weight. A tall lowercase appearance may change perceived size, so compare complete words at realistic settings. Use a long label to reveal where the layout needs more room.

Inter, Manrope and Source Sans 3 are independent specimens, not InterFace files. Compare the same paragraph and compact labels in each, then select the family that suits your own project. For multiple scripts, evaluate actual translations with appropriate files rather than assuming one Latin sample proves global consistency. Record the chosen weights and any variable settings so future changes preserve the intended hierarchy.
