Nothing OS 3.0: Don't remove the dot font

Carl I like how it has evolved to animation. N Dot is the identity of Nothing and It was the first thing that got me interested in this brand. But todays video made it very clear that N Dot is staying and thats a breeze.

Carl Noice I like it

Carl having an option is good

People who wanna stick with ndot can do so

N others can try the new font

Carl so you’re going to add everything as an option from now on because some users don’t like the change?

Nice way to clutter the UI and UX.

Good job people, you got what you wanted, toggles for everything.

burakdede Just because you might not like the direction doesn’t mean everyone else doesn’t.

burakdede Design is always subjective. Some like it and some dont. As they have mentioned a gazillion times, N Dots are good as design elements and for headers. They cannot be used frequently in any readable texts. And this is what they are going for. I mean it couldnt be clear than that. It suits better on widgets than on text.

Ali Fakhruddin my reply was not about using or not using NDot. It was about them adding an option to revert a design change because some users don’t like it.

If they’re going to do the same with upcoming design changes in future it’s going to be cluttered with lots of toggles and get underwhelming real quick.

Btw, I was one of the first to suggest you to reduce using NDot in your community projects on Discord and Reddit. So I guess I totally get their idea.

burakdede I agree. People dont like toggles, too many if there is. But we are talking about reverting the entire UI wherever N Dots are used. Painstaking if i imagine.

Ali Fakhruddin sometimes you gotta let design team decide design stuff. Users aren’t designers and Nothing designers know what they’re doing. That’s what they said last time.

I bought it because of the design and its different type of system

burakdede no no, we’re value simplicity. Wait for the release and you’ll see

Yeah for me OS 3 is my que to leave. I don’t like the direction they are going at all. They are going from a clean stock Pixel like look and feel, to a Apple IOS, Samsung One UI look and feel. Then the apps, now we will be getting duplicate apps of certain things, just like Samsung so now we get bloatware as well. And I love the DOT font, and do not like the new font which reminds me a lot of Apple IOS. Even the new clocks are like IOS. If I wanted my phone to look and feel like an iPhone I would just buy an iPhone lol. I will probably sell my NP2 phone once OS 3 official comes out and we are forced to update to it and pick up a Pixel 9 Pro

Carl that’s what I like about Nothing OS, clean and simple. I hope it stays that way. Looking forward to OBT in November.

I wasn’t expecting you to reply btw. Thanks for that.

Carl that’s a real CEO,hatts of to you sir for understanding the feedback and implementing

There seems to be no option to replace the serif font in titles. I really don’t want to see this font. It is a deal breaker and I’m going to switch phones

The Nothing OS 3.0 is impressive, but we truly miss the iconic Dot Matrix font, which has been completely removed from the phone. It would be great if there were an option to select this font, as it added a unique touch to the device, especially in the Always-On Display. Without it, the phone feels more generic, similar to many other devices on the market. Please consider bringing back the Dot Matrix font to maintain the distinct identity that sets the Nothing Phone apart.
