Nimbus Sans (Helvetica/Neue fallback) Inter

weeman's Inter seems to look quite different from mine.

I think which ever way we go, we should probably ship a font to ensure consistency; consistency is the main problem I see with the current Helvetica implementation.

If we decide to ship Inter, we probably want to incorporate most of what was touched in this spec PR https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec/pull/2000/files, incl the script and perhaps keeping a bunch of the international formats since the blog may contain some more scripts than the spec.
