The Design

About English and Numbers AW Smartwatch-Zifferblatt

Bei diesem Design entsteht die fesselnde Anziehungskraft durch die bewusste Verschmelzung englischer und numerischer Schriftarten. Der bewusste Kontrast zwischen diesen Schriftstilen erzeugt ein überraschendes Gefühl der Harmonie. Während beide Schriftarten einer quadratischen Struktur folgen, weist eine von ihnen sanft abgerundete Ecken auf, die eine subtile Weichheit hinzufügen. Es sind diese sorgfältig gestalteten quadratischen Formen und weichen Kanten, die der gesamten Robustheit des Designs eine sanfte Note verleihen und dadurch die Benutzererfahrung verbessern.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties
What sets this design apart is the charm derived from the use of English and numerical digit fonts. The arrangement of these two fonts imparts an unforeseen sense of comfort. Both fonts have a square shape, but one of them features rounded corners. It's these square and subtly rounded elements that provide users with a touch of softness amidst the overall sturdiness.
Dimensions & Packaging
The dimension of this design is aligned with the Apple Watch Series 7 and above, which is 396 by 484 pixels in 45mm size, and 352 by 430 pixels in 41mm size.

Production Technology
The design is produced on Facer.io. It has a design tool to let designers fulfill their ideas. Once the design is finished, just publish it directly from there, and the user can sync the design from Facer.io.
Design Challenge
No challenge. Everything was running smoothly.
Research
Not much research. It is influenced by the previous design of English and Numbers on the Android watch.
Inspiration
Five years ago, the English & Numbers watchface design harnessed the elegance of English letters and numerical digits, casting a radiant glow on Android watches. Now, I aim to revive that brilliance on the Apple Watch. The fusion of English letters and digits has the potential to reveal its unexpected beauty, particularly when employing specific fonts in a well-organized manner.
Project Duration
The project started and finished in October 2023 in Singapore.
Operation Flow
The design is released on Facer.io. To download it, go to www.facer.io/u/artalex. Select the Watch platform as Apple Watch. Look for the name starting with “English and Numbers“, and click the big blue button to sync into your smartwatch (You need to have Facer app installed on your smartwatch).
