How this tool helps
UI fonts must stay readable at small sizes, across many weights, and in dense layouts. This tool prioritizes practical families that perform well in buttons, labels, forms, and navigation components.
Good UI typography improves scannability, reduces friction, and supports accessibility. The goal is not only visual style but also consistent user comprehension and interaction speed.
Start with the recommendations here, then validate your final picks in compare mode with your real UI text and component states.
FAQ
Why are sans-serif fonts often recommended for UI?
They remain cleaner at small sizes and on diverse screens, improving interface legibility.
What should I avoid in UI typography?
Avoid decorative or handwriting-heavy fonts for core UI text, especially in forms and settings pages.
Should heading and body use the same font in apps?
Often yes for consistency, but a secondary heading font can work if hierarchy stays clear.
