Design Notes

  • • No bold weights - maximum is Medium (500) for buttons only
  • • Maximum 20pt for app interfaces - subtlety over drama
  • • SF Pro on iOS, Roboto on Android - system fonts for performance
  • • Negative letter spacing for headers creates elegant tension

Icons

Phosphor Icons. Exclusively.

Why Phosphor Icons

Most apps mix icon sets—Material here, Font Awesome there, custom SVGs everywhere. This creates visual chaos. Users subconsciously notice the inconsistency.

We use Phosphor Icons exclusively across every screen, every app, every interaction in the Zovia ecosystem. No exceptions.

Why Phosphor? Because they understand what we understand: consistency is invisible, but its absence is jarring.

How We Use Them

Spatial UI (Games)

Thin weight for Monument Valley minimalism. Icons become geometry.

Traditional UI (Apps)

Light/Regular weights for clarity and information density.

State Indicators

Fill weight for selected states, completed actions, active items.
