Describe the feature you'd like

Please Make Titles & Headings Look Bolder. Also It'll Be A Great If App Follows System Font Or Atleast An Option To Change Font From Roboto To Google Sans. I've A Google TV Which Have Comes With Google Sans By Default. Every Other App Follows The Same Font Except Jellyfin. Same Can Be Said For Every Other Officially Supported Jellyfin Clients.

I'm going to disagree:

Same Can Be Said For Every Other Officially Supported Jellyfin Clients.

Every Other App Follows The Same Font Except Jellyfin

Also It'll Be A Great If App Follows System Font Or Atleast An Option To Change Font From Roboto To Google Sans.

That being said, consistency would be great, and I'd like to strive to improve the UX wherever we can, but the licensing on the font means it's not an easy win.

If Tackling Licence Is Too Much. Then Atleast Try Making An Option To Use Some Open Source Fonts That Look Similar To Google Sans. Like Manrope, Open Sans, Libre Sans. There Are Countless Other. Comparing It With Any Modern ATV App, Defined Looks Bad. Not Ugly, But Definitely Below Average.

Well All Comes Down To Maintainer, I'm Just A Regular Guy Can't Do Much Then Open Issue Tracker.

Btw Main Point Of This Issue Is To Make Title Bold. Font Stuff Comes Later/Never. Currently Title, Subtitles & Even Tags All Uses The Same Weight. Bold, Black, Mono, Italic, Light-Italic & I Guess Noto Have All Of These. Please Make Jellyfin Look Decent.

Just Open Any OTT Apps Like Netflix, & Tell Me If Bold Titles Look Neat Or Not. Normally Android TV Have Bigger Screen, So Utilising Every Corner Should Be A Top Priority. To Me Atleast Everything Looks Scaled Instead Of A Better Approach. For Example, Texts Below Play/Resume, Watched, Other Options, Etc Looks Pretty Cool.

If I Look At Title, It Can Surely Cover A Wide Space. There's Literally Nothing In The Top Except User & Clock.

We do want to improve the UI and appreciate feedback on the current/future changes to it. However, opening an issue for small details like the boldness of a title doesn't help us at all. I'd also suggest to not use title casing in your complete message because it's extremely annoying to read and definitely doesn't motivate us to help with an issue.

Sure I Understand. I'll Stop Making Requests On Small Stuff From Now On. Well Can't Do Anything About That Last Part, It's A Habit Of Mine & I'm Not Ashamed Of It. Let's Respect Each Others Choice.
