Typography in ZenTara UI

ZenTara UI uses DM Sans as the default typeface — a modern, geometric sans-serif font known for its clean appearance and excellent readability. It reflects the clarity, elegance, and modernity that defines the Zentara design language.

A well-defined typography system is essential for maintaining legibility, visual balance, and brand consistency across screens of all sizes. By applying consistent rules for font sizes, weights, spacing, and hierarchy, Zentara ensures a smooth and accessible reading experience throughout the interface.

This section outlines how to implement a structured, accessible, and scalable typography system.

Key Elements of Zentara Typography System

A thoughtful typography system contains several core components that work in harmony to enhance communication and usability:

  1. Font Family

    • Primary Typeface: DM Sans
      Chosen for its modern and friendly design, DM Sans supports a wide range of weights and maintains clarity across both UI components and large content areas.

  2. Font Sizes & Hierarchy

    • Establish clear distinctions between headings, subheadings, body text, and captions.

    • A strong typographic hierarchy guides the user’s eye and improves content scanning.

  3. Line Height & Spacing

    • Adequate line height ensures text blocks are comfortable to read, avoiding both cramped and overly spaced layouts.

    • Consistent letter-spacing and paragraph spacing improve rhythm and flow across the UI.

  4. Font Weights & Emphasis

    • Use variations such as Regular, Medium, and Bold to establish emphasis where needed.

    • Headings typically use heavier weights, while body text remains lighter for comfort.

  5. Scalability & Responsiveness

    • ZenTara’s typography is built to adapt across devices and resolutions.

    • Scales fluidly for mobile, tablet, and desktop breakpoints while meeting accessibility standards.


Why Typography Matters

By defining a consistent and flexible typographic system, ZenTara UI:

  • Enhances readability and information hierarchy

  • Supports accessibility and user comfort

  • Reflects the brand’s personality through every interface

  • Makes responsive design faster and more predictable

Typography is not just about choosing a font — it’s about crafting a visual language that speaks clearly and consistently across the entire product experience.
