A lot of us feel that, while we agree the N Dot font was overused in previous releases (quickpanel time to name an example), the 3. 0 update’s decision to wind down of the N Dot font usage seems uncharacteristic of Nothing’s design language. Two changes, me and a few others on reddit had discussed about that was a bit on the face were:
- The new settings app Header font. The new font style just does not look as good as the old N Dot all caps headers and really looks out of sort. Especially when numbers are added to the mix like the battery and storage sections. Give us the option to pick between the n dot headers or the new font style. Also, those horizontal lines, it makes the UI look hectic and crowded. The simplistic line - less layout looked much better and in line with nothing’s design scheme. The new settings app just looks like a step down from the old one.
- The lockscreen date font style. Despite providing us with a number of clockface options for our lockscreen, the date font looks the same throughout. Even with the dotted clockface the date text uses the same font style as the iOS inspired clockface text, which quite honestly feels inconsistent and half baked. Having the date font use the old N Dot font or something different that mimicks each of the clockface options we have would be a far better option for us.
These are my personal opinion and something a few fellow nothing users agree with and I am raising it here cos the 3.0 is still in beta and maybe the folks at Nothing would go through this and consider something along the lines. If you do agree what I have written then give it a thumbs up, if not give them a thumbs down or whatever. Cheers peeps.
