Designer in the Loop

The "designer in the loop" approach keeps designers in control, letting them hint the model with the base values for font size, line height, and letter spacing. It's like providing the model with guidance to create a smooth, consistent type scale.

Existing Models

Font Size Models are well-established and provide a strong foundation for building a reliable type scale. They're straightforward to use and work well for most projects.

Line Height Models can vary, from overly simplistic to highly complex. My approach aims to keep things practical while bringing the designer in the loop. It's a balanced method that works effectively in practical scenarios.

Letter Spacing Models are less common but still crucial for a complete type system. There's room for further development here, but I come with an effective approach that keeps the designer in charge too.

This Project

Precise Type Project fills the gaps where current models fall short. It offers simple yet precise models for font size, line height, and letter spacing, all in one place. By keeping the designer in the loop, it ensures flexibility and control throughout the design process.

The line height and letter spacing models are based on my own research and draw inspiration from pendulum motion, offering fresh solutions to long-standing challenges.
