Xenocide Uprising

Legibility

Not a glamorous one. Three things were too small to read comfortably and I fixed all three.

  • The type scale on every written page was retuned. Headings are now twice the size of their subheads rather than one and a half times, which is why those pages used to read as one flat wall. Headings also run tight now; they had positive letter spacing before, which turns a serif into mush at display size.
  • The log is bigger. It is the only record of what just happened to you and it was set at a size that made you lean in.
  • The menu button and the page navigation are larger and higher contrast, and big enough to hit with a thumb.

The type scale is measured rather than guessed. I took it from a page whose hierarchy I have always liked, worked out the actual ratios, and applied those instead of eyeballing it.
