Tailwind Inter Plugin

A TailwindCSS plugin that seamlessly integrates the beautiful Inter typeface by Rasmus Andersson (@rsms) into your projects. This plugin provides a complete solution for using Inter font with proper metrics and advanced OpenType features.

Features

  • ๐ŸŽฏ Adds .font-inter utility class for easy font family application
  • โš™๏ธ Configurable OpenType feature settings (ligatures, numerics, case features, etc.)
  • ๐Ÿ”„ Automatic @font-face injection from Inter's CDN
  • ๐ŸŽจ Works seamlessly with Tailwind's fontSize configuration
  • ๐Ÿš€ Zero configuration required to get started

Installation

# with npm npm install --save-dev tailwindcss-font-inter # or with yarn yarn add -D tailwindcss-font-inter

Quick Start

Add the plugin to your tailwind.config.js:

// tailwind.config.js module.exports = { theme: {}, plugins: [require('tailwindcss-font-inter')] }

Now you can put .font-inter class to apply the font (by default @font-face definitions will be added to your CSS).

<body class="font-inter font-feature-default antialiased"> <h1 class="text-4xl font-bold">Beautiful Typography</h1> <p class="text-base">Your content with the full power of the Inter font features.</p> </body>

Configuration

Plugin Options

Customize the plugin behavior with these options:

// tailwind.config.js module.exports = { plugins: [ require('tailwindcss-font-inter')({ importFontFace: true, // Set to false if you want to import Inter from elsewhere }) ] }

Font Features

Define custom sets of OpenType features:

// tailwind.config.js module.exports = { theme: { extend: { interFontFeatures: { numeric: ['tnum', 'salt', 'ss02'], // Tabular numbers with stylistic alternates case: ['case'], // Case-sensitive forms fractions: ['frac'], // Enable fractions 'stylistic-one': ['ss01'] // Stylistic Set 1 } } }, plugins: [require('tailwindcss-font-inter')] }

This generates utility classes like:

/* Default features */ .font-feature-default { font-feature-settings: 'calt' 1, 'kern' 1; } .font-feature-normal { font-feature-settings: normal; } /* Custom features */ .font-feature-numeric { font-feature-settings: 'tnum' 1, 'salt' 1, 'ss02' 1; } .font-feature-case { font-feature-settings: 'case' 1; } .font-feature-fractions { font-feature-settings: 'frac' 1; } .font-feature-stylistic-one { font-feature-settings: 'ss01' 1; }

Manual Font Import

If you set importFontFace: false, you'll need to import Inter yourself. You can use Google Fonts:

<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;500;600;700&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

Or import directly from Inter's CDN:

@import url('https://rsms.me/inter/inter.css');

Browser Support

Inter works in all modern browsers. The font-feature-settings are supported in:

  • Chrome 48+
  • Firefox 34+
  • Safari 9.1+
  • Edge 15+
