Apple made the fonts thicker in recent iOS releases.
I don’t understand the other complaints. Anecdotally, users are more proficient with iOS than Windows or macOS, for similar usage times.
- mattkevan 7y agoSan Francisco is a much better UI font than Helvetica
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoIt is, but Lucida Grande was significantly better than both.
- zapzupnz 7y agoLucida Grande looked great on displays for which it was designed (non-Retina) but looked a bit naff and oddly-proportioned on Retina displays. Not unreadable by any means, but the features baked into the font to aid readability on non-Retina displays simply no longer applied once the majority of Apple's products had moved to Retina displays.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoI agree that San Francisco looks more visually pleasing on Retina displays, but I still find Lucida Grande easier to read. Particularly via peripheral vision, which matters in a UI.
