Specialty

Darkmode tackles a problem most UI designers face. For dark text on light background everything works fine, but when the same text is set light on a dark background it suddenly seems rater bold.

My thoughts on Darkmode

Darkmode tackles a problem most UI designers face. For dark text on light background everything works fine, but when the same text is set light on a dark background it suddenly seems rather large and bold. To compensate for that, Darkmode has a lighter style to maintain a visually consistent appearance on all backgrounds. It also comes with the most common UI icons which is pretty handy. A highly legible and friendly font for your next app design.

I used Darkmode in a web design for a federal association for the blind in Austria. Having excellent legibility for white-on-black text is not only trendy in this case, it’s required.
