Sam William Smith:
The font picker is one of the most commonly used drop down menus in any creative application. Despite this, the default font picker on macOS has remained largely unchanged since the early days.
What I like about this relatively simple redesign is that it follows the pattern that Apple established in the Mac emoji picker, with sections for frequently used and favorited emoji/fonts.
I’d like to see this pattern become a standard throughout Apple’s design language. For starters, it’d be nice if the iOS emoji picker allowed you to favorite emoji, as you can in macOS.
InDesign has had a “recents” list for awhile now. I’d prefer to have the option to add something a bit more hierarchically organized, perhaps emulating the project-based sets I create in my font manager.
