🔤 My top 10 free typefaces for UI design

Interfaces can quickly get cluttered 😮

An easy way to declutter them is by simplifying the thing that takes up the most space - text.

Here are my go-to sans serif typefaces for optimal legibility and simplicity.

0 / 10 👇 Image
Things I look for in a typeface:

✅ Sans serif, as they're generally the most legible, neutral, and simple. This makes them a safe option for UI design.

✅ Relatively tall lower case letters (x-height) and comfortable letter spacing for optimal legibility.
✅ Modern geometric style for a contemporary vibe.

✅ Constant stroke thickness (low contrast) for a clean and minimal feel.

💥 16 little UI design rules that make a big impact

UI design might appear to be a magical art form, but a lot of it is made up from logical rules or guidelines.

We’ll redesign an example interface using 16 of 100+ guidelines from my book - @PracticalUI

A mega thread👇
1. Use space to group related elements

The lack of space between content makes the design look cluttered and difficult to understand. Increasing spacing helps to clearly group content, making it more organised and easier to understand.
2. Be consistent

Similar elements should look and work in a similar way. This should be true both within your product and when compared with others.

This predictable functionality improves usability and reduces errors, as people don't need to keep learning how things work.

🚨 Launch alert 🚀

My UI design book @PracticalUI 📘 is live on @ProductHunt 🥳

I spent thousands of hours over 1.5 years crafting a book to teach anyone how to design user interfaces using logical rules.

I'd love your support and feedback. Thanks 🙏

@PracticalUi @ProductHunt Going up against all the AI app companies on Product Hunt is tough 😮

Here's how things are going after the first hour. Wish me luck and/or send me tips/advice 😅 Thanks
4 hours in and I've dropped to 7th position.

The AI tool in 1st position has over 400 upvotes already 🤯 Looks like their whole company is behind the launch.

Tough to compete as a company of 1 😅

⚡️ UI design tip: Check your buttons for common mistakes 😮

After nearly 2 decades looking at buttons, I've noticed that most of them have usability and accessibility issues.

Some quick and practical tips to avoid common mistakes 👇

#design #uxui #uxdesign
✅ Define 3 buttons styles (primary, secondary and tertiary) to display actions of varying importance.

✅ Ensure buttons have a clear visual hierarchy (order of importance) that isn't reliant on colour alone.
✅ Ensure contrast ratio of the button shape is at least 3:1 to meet WCAG 2.1 level AA accessibility requirements.

✅ Ensure button text contrast ratio is at least 4.5:1.

✅ Use a large target area (at least 48pt by 48pt) to ensure people can easily select buttons.

Usability pitfalls of disabled buttons

Disabled buttons can cause users to get blocked without knowing why, causing abandonment and frustration.

Tips on how to deal with disabled buttons from @vitalyf's video course - Smart Interface Design Patterns 👇

#design #ui #ux #uxui
Always keep buttons enabled by default

Always keep buttons enabled by default and allow users to interact with them. Disabled buttons can cause users to get blocked without knowing why causing abandonment and frustration.
Point to errors on submit

On submit, explain to users why they can’t proceed, and how to fix errors:

• For a single error, point users to the invalid input via a text link.
• For multiple errors, display an error summary at the top and link to it.
