Summary
Revisit typography and typesetting across the product so that both English and Chinese interfaces feel intentional, consistent, and easy to read. The work should establish a coherent typographic system rather than address isolated text defects.
Why this matters
English and Chinese have different requirements for font selection, fallback behavior, punctuation, spacing, line breaking, and information density. A shared but locale-aware approach will improve readability and prevent clipping, awkward wrapping, inconsistent hierarchy, and mixed-script rendering issues.
Scope
- Audit typography across the primary desktop surfaces in both English and Chinese.
- Define and apply a consistent type scale, font weights, line heights, and text hierarchy.
- Review font families and fallback stacks for Latin, Chinese, and mixed-script content.
- Refine wrapping, truncation, punctuation handling, spacing, and line-breaking behavior for each locale.
- Verify compact controls, navigation, dialogs, settings, chat content, and other text-dense views.
- Validate behavior at supported window sizes, display scaling settings, and common content lengths.
- Preserve the product's existing visual language while improving polish and consistency.
Design questions
- Which type scale and hierarchy should be standard across product surfaces?
- Which font and fallback strategy should be used for English, Chinese, and mixed-script content?
- Where should locale-specific spacing or layout adjustments be permitted?
- What truncation and wrapping rules should components follow?
Acceptance criteria
- English and Chinese typography use a documented, consistent hierarchy.
- Representative screens have been reviewed by design in both locales.
- Chinese punctuation and line breaks render naturally, and mixed English/Chinese text has reliable fallback behavior.
- Text does not clip, overlap, or overflow at supported sizes and display scaling settings.
- Shared components use reusable typography tokens or styles instead of one-off values.
- Before-and-after screenshots are included for the major affected surfaces.
