What developers should know about design
summary
Practical rules for UI design: pick a two-font system (one for headings, one for body), limit choices to proven pairings, and size text with a fixed scale using a 75% scale (examples: 16, 21, 28 px) so spacing and rhythm stay consistent. Use proportions between 60–80% for layout and logo geometry. Restrict color to one or two brand colors plus gray/white/black, prefer warm colors to draw attention and cool to recede, and always aim for consistency.
