Going Native with System Fonts and Form Fields
Designing an application interface in today’s world is difficult. Many products offer native implementations for iOS and Android, as well as cross-browser HTML versions. Native platforms each offer their own user interface guidelines, which outline some best-practice approaches to navigation, controls, animations, and more. Apps that follow these guidelines are instantly understandable and usable by users. The best apps mix their own visual style into these guidelines, which makes the software feel like a natural extension of both the product’s brand and the host operating system.
