Here’s an intermediate release of the #MartianMono typeface.
Version 1.1 Alpha brings some coding ligatures and support for languages using the extended Cyrillic script, like Chuvash, Bashkir, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Uzbek, Tatar, and Tajik.
+20 points for vividness: enhanced P3 gamut support.
+20 points for cuteness: rewarding animations.
+10 points for transparency: the blended color icon.
Additionally, we have introduced a special state if the background is not solid, improved the background search and dynamic UI theming algorithms, and implemented a few more minor fixes.
My friends! The #Harmony color palette is now live on Product Hunt.
We’re thrilled to contribute to the community. There aren’t many products that prioritize accessibility, streamline the experiences of designers and developers, and are available for free.
The new Polychrom fully supports the P3 gamut, operates seamlessly with zero latency on massive Figma documents, and handles transparent fills effortlessly.
Introducing Harmony, a new UI color palette for product designers.
Harmony combines cutting-edge color technology, providing precise UI element contrast control, extremely consistent color shades, and P3 gamut support.
📣 I’m reaching out to #podcast hosts and #conference organizers in Europe: if you’re looking for guest speakers, let’s have a chat!
I have three speakers available, covering a wide range of topics in design and development, including mastering icons, fonts, and design systems; adopting OKLCH and APCA; and improving product ownership and designer-developer communication.
It seems like creating custom numeric-only variable fonts for UIs is becoming a trend 🤩
We at Evil Martians developed a retro-looking segmented display typeface for our recent Polychrom plugin, and now it turns out that Apple did the same for Watch Ultra. Neat!
We’ve soft-launched the early beta of our new @Figma plugin. Its main goal is to display the contrast level and font size recommendations according to the APCA method.
Drawing from the numerous experiments we’ve conducted within the design team I’m confident in asserting that _the perfect_ color space would be OKLCH with APCA’s _improved_ Lc in place of L.
Apca—C—H → ApcaCH.
By “improved,” I mean that the model should generate non-zero values for low-contrast combinations.
