I've summarized the main points 1. Importance of Line Height in Typography: Good design involves appropriate line height, with the recommended range being 1.1 to 1.3 times the text size for headings and 1.3 to 1.5 times for body text. This improves readability and the overall aesthetic of the design. 2. Letter Spacing Makes a Difference: Adjusting the space between characters, known as letter spacing, can enhance the design. Negative letter spacing is suggested for headings to add a certain crispness but should be avoided for body text to maintain readability. 3. Proper Text Alignment is Essential: Avoid center-aligning long paragraphs, as it can slow down reading speed. For anything that spans more than three lines of text, left alignment is recommended. Also, avoid mixing alignments between headings and body text. 4. Considerations for Text Width: Based on a study by The Baymard Institute, long lines of text can overwhelm users, leading to less engagement and lower conversions. A good range to maintain is 50 to 75 characters for body text, with around 600 pixels width for a desktop screen. 5. Hierarchy,: Avoid overusing text sizes to indicate hierarchy. Try to stick to two different font sizes, using font weight and color changes for hierarchy. 6. Spacing: Consider the space between text elements; elements with closer relationships should be positioned closer. Use multipliers to maintain consistent spacing between elements.

You missed "consistensy". It seem obvious but having a subset of rules means nothing if they are applied ambigously through a site, book or any other material. If an icon is at an odd place is going to look weird but if your design iterates over that, then is a key part of the design language.

_"Whitespace is an active element"_ This is not just applicable in graphical / UI design: I taught my colleagues the same thing in terms of coding style. A blank line doesn't hurt while typing, but improves readability immensely and also serves as an indicator for logical blocks of statements, thus helping to keep a more "organized" code. The requirement (and benefit!) to the programmer is that s/he would have to _think_ about how to best group their statements and what they actually do, effectively resulting in a "two-pass" process of writing code and verifying it. Step two -- rearranging logical blocks into groups of similar types of code (declarations / assignments vs. pure statements) -- would be the next resulting optimization pass; however, this is not about typography anymore.

you're right, you don't want it to become too separated and feel like it's a completely isolated element generally for me, as long as there aren't other "groups" of elements that could be linked to the CTA (and confuse), i feel it's fine to go a bit overboard with the spacing! 😃 but still, a good point!!

As a designer, articulating these are so important for our clients, especially when most of the world doesn’t have much of what I describe as visual and content design literacy (and yet our societies have incredible maths, science and language literacy thanks to content design they consume across two decades of learning). Many of the books we learnt on in my generation barely cared for how design impacts learning. But I’m hopeful that things will change for education in the decades ahead as learning becomes more mix-content, AI assisted and as the new generation of young people becomes increasingly more media savvy.

Not a UI designer, but a web dev. The first few tips were so intuitive for me, there's a reason why Comic Sans is seen as the laughing stock of fonts and that most websites stay clear of Times New Roman and instead go for Garamond or Roboto for their typesetting. Though these rules mostly apply to design of "showcase" websites, and promotional content. For actual web applications, UX should prevail over UI design. You need your actual app to be accessible, to minimize the number of clicks, to minimize the need to interact with it (which is the complete opposite of a website designed to sell a product)

Letter spacing is usually made the way that it is for people with accessibility issues like dyslexia, to make things more readable for them. Don't just mess with that stuff because it looks good, it's made the way that it is for a reasons and if you do mess with it, you end up making things harder to read for people.

Hey Tim, thank you for sharing this insightful information of ui design. I am a experience UI designer since 2015 and a year and a half ago I came across this "Golden Ratio" number which is 1.618. The concept of using this number is multiplication with the font size. For example 24px is a body font size so the line height would be 24 * 1.618 and you will see the result. I personally use this strategy in all my designs now on headings, sub-headings, and body text. My question is it is a good idea to use a "Golden Ratio" concept on all the type of texts (heading, sub-headings, and body text)?
@thebluriam Жыл бұрын
Really glad you brought this up. I use the golden ratio between all of my designs, except I take things SUPER far. Here's the thinking. Most people only think of the golden ratio as 1:1.618, but that's only the beginning of the story. The full range set of the golden ratio is [0, 0.382, 0.618, 1, 1.382, 1.618, 2] So to get into the weeds about size choices for text heights or line heights, let's say I have some title text and some subtitle text. If my title text were 55px, I would make my subtitle text 34, because 55 x 0.618 is 34 (approximately). I do the same kind of calculation for line heights too, and for image sizing, container margin space, everything. Basically, everything in my designs are 100% golden ratio'd to itself, and I pick the most important thing in the design, whatever it might be, as the value of 1. Oftentimes, the most important thing to me is the viewport itself, viewport meaning a browser window, card stock size, screen size, whatever the containing unit is. All I do is scale everything up or down through the golden ratio, even down to line height choices. It makes absolutely everything incredibly easy to design, with no guess work, no mucking about with a/b testing, none of the difficulty, and everything always looks naturally beautiful to the human eye without ever being able to tell what I'm doing to make the process easier on myself.

Nice. Trying to be a fullstack dev. I'm kinda doing some of the things you laid out here when I'm doing my markup. I didn't have concrete guidelines for them though, just feeling it haha. Will definitely try these out on my next project.
