Refined concept

H° Human Scale

A temperature system designed around how people actually experience the world — from bitter cold to a hot oven. Non-linear, so the temperatures you feel every day get the most resolution.

0 H° = −40°F / −40°C 350 H° = Freezing 500 H° = Room temp 571 H° = Body temp 850 H° = Boiling 1500 H° = 500°F (max stove)

Key anchors
0 H° = −40°F
350 H° = 32°F
500 H° = 70°F
571 H° = 98.6°F (body temp)
850 H° = 212°F
1500 H° = 500°F

Why non-linear?

H° allocates more resolution to the temperatures you feel every day. The steeper the curve, the more H° precision you get per °F.

Scale comparison

See how the same temperature maps across all three scales. The marker follows your current input.
