A practical license check for Inter: what OFL usually allows, what to verify on FontHubs, and when to get counsel.
Not legal advice. Font licenses and redistributions can differ by file package. Confirm the license text shipped with your download and your project’s compliance requirements before commercial shipping.
Short answer
Inter, as commonly distributed via open font channels (including Google Fonts listings), is licensed under the SIL Open Font License (OFL). The OFL generally permits free commercial use of the font software—websites, apps, documents, and many product contexts—subject to OFL conditions.
Primary references to review alongside FontHubs: the OFL FAQ / license text, and the Google Fonts Inter specimen license metadata for the distribution you use. Inter is a popular UI workhorse, so teams often ask this before shipping product chrome.
What to verify before you ship
- Open the Inter detail page license section on FontHubs
- Keep the OFL notice with redistributed font files when required
- Do not sell the font files alone as a standalone product (OFL reserved-font-name / sale restrictions apply)
- Treat logo, trademark, and brand-asset rules separately from font licensing
