Typography and Color for Digital Interfaces

A foundations course in type and color: how to build a readable type scale, choose typefaces for bilingual (Arabic and English) interfaces, construct an accessible HSL-based color palette with verified contrast, avoid color-blindness pitfalls, build a genuine dark theme, and organize both into a systematic, governed, token-based system.

By the end of this course you can build a complete, accessible, bilingual type and color system from scratch: a modular type scale, an HSL-based palette with verified contrast and color-blindness testing, a genuine dark theme, a token-based implementation, and a governance process that keeps it consistent as a product grows.
