Design engineering principles for making interfaces feel polished and alive.
Covers micro-interactions, typography details, visual refinement, and the small
decisions that separate "it works" from "it feels right". By Jakub Krehel
(Interfere, Interfaces magazine, oklch.fyi).

What it does
Applies Jakub Krehel's design engineering principles to make interfaces feel genuinely polished — not just functional. Covers micro-interactions, precise typography choices, visual hierarchy refinement, motion timing, and the subtle details (hover states, transitions, spacing rhythm) that distinguish well-crafted UI from generic output. By the creator of oklch.fyi and the Interfaces publication.
