Aero UI Design System
Aero UI makes it easy for anyone to get into RelativityOne and get to work right away. With an intuitive and modern interface, even the most novice user can feel confident in the software, while still preserving the power to tackle any business challenge. Our vision is to deliver an unstructured data platform with light-speed performance, intuitive workflows, and a next-generation UI to empower all users to discover the truth.

The areas that I contributed the most to were color and typography. Color is often used to help distinguish different types of data and content, create hierarchies, and make it clear what parts of the interface a user can interact with. Relativity already had existing branding colors that were being incorporated into Aero but we still had discovery to do on basic colors that would meet our accessibility guidelines. We wanted to ensure at minimum, we were adhering to the AA color contrast ratio as set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
When I had joined the team, the font, Roboto, had already chosen as our typeface but we still needed to figure out the scale of the font and what would work best in the product. Trying to match the old UI scale was our starting place to create a foundation. While insightful in building the foundation it also highlighted the issues we were attempting to fix with the old UI. We needed more clear variety in our scale. This meant increasing or decreasing the point size between the types of uses.
