Weather apps tell you what’s happening. This one tells you what it means. Most forecasts stop at numbers and icons, but they don’t reflect how weather actually feels. This app translates conditions into their impact on the body - energy, pain, and clarity - making the forecast more personal and useful.

Behind the Design
For this brief, I was asked to explore typography across different environments, so I chose to develop it within an app context. I liked the idea of working digitally, where typography has to be clear, functional, and responsive.
I based the concept around weather, but wanted to approach it in a more personal way. The idea came from hearing my mum talk about her knees hurting when the air pressure changes, which made me realise how differently people experience weather beyond just temperature or rain.
This became the direction for the app - combining data with human experience, using typography to communicate changes in a way that feels more relevant and intuitive.
It allowed me to explore how type can shift in scale, weight, and hierarchy to reflect different conditions, making the information not just readable, but more expressive and connected to real life.
