@octothorpe@mastodon.online @marioguzman@mastodon.social I don’t even know if SF Symbols are optimized for one specific size to be rendered at, which would be a missed opportunity. And vector fonts can be rendered crisp at low resolutions through hinting and a decent rasterizer. It’s a solved problem IMHO. (Though OS X has always discarded the hinting information for fonts if I remember correctly.)

@octothorpe@mastodon.online Very good point! I don’t mind if the branding is done Panic-style, not corporate/VC startup style. The former is done with empathy, the latter often smells like KPI-fueled helplessness. @marioguzman@mastodon.social

Many designers want to design “clean” or “slick” user interfaces.

I prefer humane and friendly user interfaces.

I want to feel that an app was made by a thoughtful human. I do not mind at all if their personality and individuality shine through.
