Rollê

Rollê is a Portuguese-language app for finding places, curators and activities. The examples in the file are set in Curitiba, and here I follow one of them, the Ópera de Arame theatre. The file holds 17 distinct phone screens and keeps earlier drafts on a separate page.

The place page starts with the essentials: name, rating, a row of photos with the next one peeking in, and four round shortcuts for Conheça, Horários, Info and Avaliações. Below that, the tone changes. Sobre o local uses plain lines such as “Rola show, peças e eventos” on cards with small ink drawings, and Dica de amigo collects short tips, like getting there close to sunset.

The story screen gives the whole phone to one photograph, with segmented bars showing there is more to come. The reading stays at the bottom on a dark panel: one short paragraph about the place and three highlights. The photograph sets the place, and the text is short enough to read before moving on.

Photos, cards and icon buttons share one treatment: a black outline with a thin offset shape in a second colour, such as blue, orange or pink. Headings use a serif, and the file keeps typography versions labelled Serif. Together they bring the app closer to a printed guide than to a listings app.
