Details that make interfaces feel better
Great interfaces rarely come from a single thing. It's usually a collection of small details that compound into a great experience. Apply these principles when building or reviewing UI code.
Quick Reference
| Category | When to Read |
|---|---|
| Typography | Text wrapping, font smoothing, tabular numbers |
| Surfaces | Border radius, optical alignment, shadows, image outlines, hit areas |
| Animations | Interruptible animations, enter/exit transitions, icon animations, scale on press |
| Performance | Transition specificity, will-change usage |
Core Principles
1. Concentric Border Radius
Outer radius = inner radius + padding. Mismatched radii on nested elements is the most common thing that makes interfaces feel off.
