From what I've seen of ios7 so far, there seems to be a lot of floaty helvetica light.
The problem seems to be that if you're going to do large, light Helvetica you need lots of white space around it to make it readible and aesthetically pleasing. The problem is real estate on a phone screen is very limited, so what you end up with is a lack of typographic hierarchy, it seems harder to read and process the information than before. I wish the typography had been more considered, and the use of space.Imagine the screenshots below are print designs, I could find a lot wrong typographically, especially once there is quite a lot of data

- I think it looks quite legible; better than before.monospaced
- ... and no one's actually having a problem with usability. I think you need to broaden your scope to judge this properly.zarkonite
- An interactive device has very little to do with a print piece. The responsiveness and user flow has more to do with comprehension than just straight legibility. The user asks for information and expects a return, the information being served is done on demand. You're not pushing info out and making people read it like you do in print.zarkonite
