Inter Tight sets dense, punchy headlines with tighter spacing than Inter, and Inter stays legible at small sizes thanks to its tall x-height. Two sans-serifs pair through contrast of weight and width: set the headline heavy and tight, the body regular and open.

Using Inter Tight on a website
Sizes
Inter Tight is a headline face: use it from about 28px up, for headings, hero lines and short labels, and set paragraphs in a calmer partner.
Spacing
At large sizes, set line height between 1.0 and 1.2 and tighten letter spacing slightly (around -0.01em to -0.02em); in all capitals, loosen it instead (around +0.02em to +0.05em).
Loading
This page loads 400 and 700. Load only the weights you actually use: every extra weight is another file before text can render in it. Self-hosting with next/font, or font-display: swap with the Google Fonts CSS, keeps text visible while it loads.
Inter Tight is free on Google Fonts, where you can see every weight and style it comes in.
Use the top pairing
