Pattern Library
The collected architecture of digital reading.
Systems Thinking for Text
A pattern library is not a component library. It is a set of relationships. A change to line-length fundamentally alters the required leading. A shift to dark mode demands a re-evaluation of font weight.
Implementing holistic reading patterns increases average reading session length by 42 minutes (App Analytics, 2023).
