Enlarge tiny interface type

Hey Folks

Some of the larger interface type is fine, but the smaller interface type is almost unreadable.

I have 20/20 vision with pretty good accommodation and I can tell you that, by the end of the day, that small type is going to be a huge strain to read.

Given this is a UX app, would be great to set a good usability example for other app designers. ; )

    I have aging eyes (and progressive lenses) with a 27" Mac. The interface text is TINY. TINY TINY.

    Thanks for listening.

    Hey Elaine

    Thanks for the reply!

    I'm on two standard 30" displays at 100ppi display res.
    My eye-to-screen working distance is about 18’, (typical for screens larger thatn a tablet.)

    In XD, the smallest label type on my 100ppi display is 5 pixels (05” or 1.27mm), whereas I'd want 6 pixels minimum size (.06" or 1.5 mm) for comfortable all-day work.

    I realize that this has upstream implication in the interface.
    To maintain the excellent spacing of interface elements you’ve achieved, things might need to be scaled a bit.

    But it would dramatically change theusefulness of the app to those of us over the age of 20.
    = 8- )

    (Yes, when they say I'm a senior information designer, they snigger and emphasize the word senior. Pffffft. )

    Cheers
