Dense
Much on every screen: small items, little space between. Shows as much as possible at once, for people who scan.
Good for: Large ranges, news, tools for regular users.
Weak for: First visits and phones; one message gets lost.
Fewer items per row on phones, but still close together.
The look, in Stylogeny
- Horror vacui: Every area is filled; abundant, crowded, layered.
How it is found
In a wireframe: Not from a tree: every wireframe uses the same spacing, so density is decided by the look and the content.
On a real page: At 1280 px, what the script found covers more than 45% of the page, or there are more than 220 words per screen.
