Cupure News

Have you done some user testing? It doesn’t seem that Cupure is actually putting the user experience first: The typography of this app doesn’t make it easy to read – the contrary is the case. Justified text in such slim columns doesn’t work well on the web, because there is no hyphenation and the number of glyphs per line is too low. You also use a condensed sans serif, instead of a serif font, like newspapers do. The fonts for headlines and body copy are the same size, which makes it even harder to comb through content. The eye has no anchors that capture the reader’s attention. Combined with the large gaps between words (a result of justified text) one is “slipping out” of the lines they’re reading.

I have to say this not easy to read at all
