The next talk I sketchnoted is The Invisible Power of UI Typography by @glyphe at the Design & UX Conf @smashingconf
@vitalyf
To the user, the UI is the product, and a big part of it is text.
How can you make type work for you? 🧵

“When it comes to user interface, the biggest part there is text. Users skim or scan the text and make decisions because of that. Typography helps them find out what’s important.” — @glyphe

If it's written by @glyph, you know it's going to be the perfect balance of beginner-friendly and in depth examples.
If you only read one article on line height, this should be it.

Having a chat with @kaja_slojewska about balancing career with having a family. We’re trying to name 10 successful female type designers who have kids. Can you please help us name a few?

For the #rstats folks using Atkinson Hyperlegible on their blogs (there are dozens of us!) this is a really great list/breakdown!
I got this in my email first - highly recommend subscribing to @glyphe's Pimp My Type newsletter!

What font pairs well with Atkinson Hyperlegible as a heading font?
The #freeFont by @BrailleInst is quite distinct and clean, ideally used for copy or in UIs. But when it comes to larger sizes, it seems a bit dull and is too space consuming. I recommend three #fontPairings

You can’t design anything with just 5 colors. You need a much more comprehensive set of colors to choose from — for greys, for shades, for states and for edges.
Building Your Color Palette (refactoringui.com/previews/b…) is a great piece about a systematic approach to color palettes.
