Interface typefaces: Fonts for UI/UX design
Cofo Gothic
CoFo Gothic is a daring and confident typeface that goes against the lifelessness of neutrality. CoFo Gothic encapsulates the best features of the genre—crispness, narrow proportions, tight spacing, increased contrast, and large lowercase letters. It provides the stability of a classic sans and, at the same time, gives a bold and memorable shape to your words. This makes CoFo Gothic adaptable to different uses, especially for web and UI/UX.

Embury Text
Embury Text may not be the typical font that comes to mind for UI/UX design; however, it' contrasting characteristics like soft round curves, sharp end strokes, exaggerated oval counters, punched-in slab-like serifs, and swelling swashes work well together, offering an unexpectedly immersive experience to the reader. If your app involves longform text or bookish users, Embury Text is perfect for the job.

Dico Sans
The basic structure and feel of Dico (Latin for “I speak, I talk, I give a speech”) is shaped by compact proportions and open, yet restrained letterforms that gain in friendliness and warmth when accompanied by their more swinging italics. Its high legibility makes it a great choice for UI/UX design, and its family members help round out any typographic palette.

Matria
Matria is a grotesque family based on Brazilian historical models. Its weight range starts at an almost mono-linear thin, and its contrast becomes more evident the heavier the type gets. There are four widths and infinite variations in between via variable font technology. Matria is sure to make a nice addition to any UI/UX designer's toolkit.
