Prioritize x-height, spacing, and legibility at small sizes. The closest shape match is not always the best interface font.
Compare distinctive letters first. Characters like a, g, R, S, and numerals reveal whether a font really feels similar.
Test full sentences at your real size and weight. A font that matches a specimen can still read differently in paragraphs.
