What is invisible design?

“ You have two goblets before you. One is of solid gold (…) the other is of
crystal-clear glass, thin as a bubble, and as transparent. Pour and drink;
and according to your choice of goblet, I shall know whether or not you
are a connoisseur of wine. For if you have no feelings about wine one
way or the other, you will want the sensation of drinking the stuff out of
a vessel that may have cost thousands of pounds; but if you are a
member of that vanishing tribe, the amateurs of fine vintages, you will
choose the crystal, because everything about it is calculated to reveal
rather than hide the beautiful thing which it was meant to contain.”
–The Crystal Goblet, or Printing Should Be Invisible by Beatrice Warde

–The Crystal Goblet, or Printing Should Be Invisible by Beatrice Warde
“The book typographer has the job of erecting a window between the reader inside the room and that landscape
which is the author's words.
He may put up a stained-glass window of marvellous beauty, but a failure as a window. Or he may work in what I call
transparent or invisible typography. ”

“Avoiding a digital interface means you don’t waste time learning, troubleshooting, and using a screen you
don’t need to be using anyway.
That’s good design thinking.”

–Steve B. Johnson, Interface Culture
“The interface came into the world under the cloak of efficiency, and it is now emerging—chrysalis-style—as a genuine art form.”
