Typography in UX

Course overview

The course "Typography in UX" addresses the use of type in the context of user-centered interfaces and digital products. The goal is to categorize typographic decisions within information architecture, reading guidance, and interaction design. It covers criteria for selecting, combining, and applying typefaces in the user interface, as well as their impact on perception, accessibility, and usability. The content is situated in the field of UX design and human-computer interaction and addresses typographic design as part of the interface design process. Content Fundamentals of typography in digital interfaces: Classification of typefaces, anatomy of characters, readability and legibility on various displays, and parameters such as size, line spacing, line length, and contrast. Application in UI design: Designing hierarchies, using headings, body text, and microcopy, utilizing variable fonts, responsive typography, and scaling systems for different viewports. Accessibility and guidelines: Accessible typography according to WCAG, color and contrast requirements, focus states, error messages, and reading guidance for diverse user groups. System integration and performance: Web fonts, loading times, fallback strategies, font subsetting, technical implementation in design systems and component libraries. Processes and collaboration: Handoff to development, documentation in design tokens, prototyping, testing methods for readability, and using metrics and usage data for evaluation. Learning objectives - Analyze readability and legibility factors for different screen resolutions and usage situations. - Differentiate between type classifications and identify suitable typefaces for defined UI components. - Apply typographic hierarchies to structure headings, text blocks, and interaction elements. - Create responsive typography scales including line spacing, spacing, and breakpoints. - Integrate accessible typography requirements according to WCAG into wireframes, designs, and prototypes. - Implement web fonts with fallback concepts, subsetting, and design tokens into an existing design system. Career prospects The course content is applicable in fields such as UX/UI design, where typographic decisions shape interaction and reading guidance in the interface. Typical areas of activity include design system management, where typography scales, tokens, and components are maintained and documented. The course addresses content for roles such as frontend development with a focus on web font implementation, performance, and accessible presentation. Also relevant are content and product design roles responsible for microcopy and consistent text design. Summary The course Typography in UX addresses the professional use of type in digital interfaces with a focus on reading guidance, accessibility, system integration, and collaboration in the product development process. This training conveys typographic principles, UI application, guidelines, and implementation asp…
