Spatial typography and text

Text presentation in visionOS adapts classic typographic principles for spatial computing while maintaining familiarity across Apple platforms.

How typography adapts to spatial design:

• Weight adjustments: Text uses slightly heavier weights than other platforms. Body text shifts from regular to medium weight, while titles move from semibold to bold for better contrast.
• Spacing optimization: Tracking increases to improve legibility in spatial environments. Letters maintain clear spacing at various viewing distances.
• New editorial styles: Special font styles support wide, editorial-style layouts unique to spatial design, including Extra Large Title options.

What ensures clear text in space:

• Use system fonts optimized for spatial legibility
• Choose appropriate weights for viewing conditions
• Avoid lightweight fonts at large scales
• Maintain consistent semantic styles across platforms
• Test readability at various distances
