 only Apple Watch. Coming worthy replacement «Helvetica Neue».
New elegant font from Apple is the first time saw the presentation of Apple Watch. His undeniable convenience when working on a small screen clock gave the result. The company decided to use the new development as the main system font, which will be part of the future operating system iOS 9 and Mac OS X 10.11. Designer Venting Zhang shared his vision of the reasons which formed the basis of such a decision in Apple.
With all the variety of terms and descriptions of parts of the font that far removed from working with fonts own people will not understand, we can understand that in order to create this font was the perception of the need to ensure easy on the screens of portable devices.
One of the main advantages - the height of lowercase letters. It is 75% of the capital, which at times facilitates the perception of the font. Gaps in the letter "e" and the like have also been increased in order to achieve the above effect. If you try to compare «San Francisco» with existing fonts, the closest in performance will be «Open Sans» and well-known «Arial».
The new font will be another new feature in future versions of iOS and Mac OS X, aimed at ensuring a comfortable and stable operation of the operating systems. Before WWDC 2015 left nothing at all, and soon becomes clear: Apple will keep to the promise of reliable error-free operation for the user or not.
