Fantastic what a deep thought... Thanks @Tim, You saved my years. I have never found these details on the internet. You cleared all the confusion about the importance of typography in the Design System. 💙
Very nice approach! I would love to see more videos like this for a lot of design topics like padding (desktop vs mobile etc), colors, naming conventions... But also general ways of approaching design challenges, like how companies design their tables, forms, calendars, profile setting, content cards...
And when labels are needed, should the line-height be the same as the font size for better vertical alignment? I don't think it's a good practice to give a label, which is always a single line, such an excessive line-height, as the text will appear vertically misaligned.
I was probably blessed by the design heavens to have your videos recommended to me so early in my UX/UI career. The information you organized in this video are super insightful and the hard work you went through extracting this data for us is amazing. Subscribed, liked, and will now follow more of your stuff closely 👾
Btw 16px is most likely the standard because it's the universal accessible font size for all devices and the smallest font that is recommended. As designers, accessibility should always be accounted for.
I question if level of heading should have anything to do with scale. Think about drum notation. We’re able to easily distinguish between half, quarter, eighth, etc not by the size of the note, but by the symbol, moreover by the extension of previous symbol. No need for a reference point.
Thank you so much I recently watched alot of videos about typography but I was stucked in such methods behind typography. But your video helps and alot and cleared my all confusions about display fonts sizes or major rules etc. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really was waiting for such a video. I was so confused about font sizes I study multiple font sizes of material ui, ant design, HMS but couldn't understand which should I go through.
