Yo, after I switched to Firefox, I realized its mobile app offers ad blocking add-ons for mobile. Holy shit was that a dealmaker for me. I actually want to browse the web on my phone again.
The spacing is something I noticed, too, and I agree with the umlaut thing. The small “e” looks a little awkward - like it doesn’t quite know if it’s an “a” or “e”. You could try making some tweaks to it. You could also see if adding an extra space inside big V and Y would make them more aligned with the rest of the letters.
I’m sorry, this probably sounds like some font snob nitpicking. On a more positive note, I absolutely adore the small “z”! Real solid work for a first experiment.
From what I’ve understood, TikTok searches are more along the lines of “how to” or “is this product/service good?” Sure, you wouldn’t be able to pull up a whole menu of a place, but you certainly could get opinions of what is worth spending money on there and vice versa. Think YouTube, but with less skewed search results or a chance to fact-check as quickly. It’s where your friends and generation are, so it has that aspect to it, too. Oh, and tags.
