Typography is the foundation of user interface design. In knowledge-work environments where users read transcripts, notes, and context summaries for hours every day, improper type scaling causes cognitive fatigue. Here is how we crafted Maple's typographic system.
"Serif headlines ground the mind with editorial elegance; clean grotesque sans-serif body copy provides instantaneous legibility."
We pair Cormorant Garamond for display headers with Inter for data-dense UI controls. By enforcing strict 4px grid baselines and a 1.618 golden line-height ratio, text in Maple breathes naturally on both Retina and standard resolution displays.
