Challenge

The main challenge in redesigning Entrance Fastighetsmäkleri’s website is finding the right balance between preserving their unique brand identity and modernizing the user experience. Their identity is centered around architectural preservation and a personalized approach to real estate, so the redesign must reflect these values. At the same time, the site needs to be updated to ensure it’s easy to use, accessible to a diverse audience, and works well on all devices. Balancing these elements without losing the essence of the brand is the key challenge.

# Font Principles

The font system is one of the most foundational parts of any interface design.

Text is a major channel for users to understand application content and complete their work, and a well designed font system will greatly enhance the user's reading experience and work efficiency.

Base Font Size

Dippi's base font size is 14 to ensure the best user reading efficiency on most common monitors based on display screen reading distance (50 cm) and optimal reading angle (0.3).

Font Scale & Line Height

The font scale and line height determine the beauty of the dynamics and order of a font system. Font scale refers to a series of font with different sizes. Line height can be understood as an invisible box wrapped outside the font.

Dippi is using 140% font height method to define font sizes and corresponding line heights, for example:
