Behind the Design

Press Kit

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.
Tags: green, red, blue, orange, elegant, casual, minimal
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).
