Colons 1 year ago
Take a look at the placement of the colon in “3:05” the Clock app on iPhone:
It’s bottom-aligned with the baseline. Notice that the “3:27” in the iOS bar has the same placement. Of course, both of these things make sense because because that’s where both Helvetica and Helvetica Neue place it, and those are the primary fonts in iOS.
But what about the time on the lock screen? It appears to be Helvetica (or Neue), but the colon has been moved up!
Did they modify the typeface, or is there other funny business going on here? Let me know (@trhaynes) if you know what’s going on.
