App Store Screenshot Typography: Fonts, Sizes, and What Actually Reads

90% of "my screenshots don't convert" is actually "my text is too small." Here's the typography rule book.

By App Screenshots Team5 min read

Screenshots are first seen at 40% scale in the App Store carousel. Every typography choice should survive that shrink.

Font choice

Sans-serif with a tall x-height reads best: Inter, Söhne, Geist, SF Pro. Serifs look elegant at full scale and turn to mush at thumbnail.

Sizes

Headline caption: minimum 72pt at full resolution. Secondary text: 42pt+. Anything under that is invisible in the carousel.

Hierarchy

One bold caption. One supporting line, maybe. Three levels of hierarchy in a screenshot is already one too many.
