Why it works
Using a coding font for headlines is the fastest way to signal 'built by developers': JetBrains Mono's fixed-pitch rhythm and tall, open letterforms read like a terminal prompt turned display face. Inter supplies the proportional body text a mono can't — monospace paragraphs waste horizontal space and tire the eye — while its own UI heritage keeps the overall tone consistent. The go-to combination for dev tools, APIs and technical documentation sites.
