Pairing Strategy

Balancing Audiowide with Courgette

Anchor the expressive personality of Audiowide with the utilitarian clarity of Courgette.

This pairing is engineered for teams that need a clear hierarchy without sacrificing brand voice. Audiowide brings techno, futuristic, sci-fi energy to hero units, pricing sections, and campaign headlines. Courgette absorbs the heavy lifting for paragraphs, product storytelling, and UI labels with its brush, italic, low-contrast texture and dependable rhythm. Together they create a typography stack that scales from high-impact landing pages to dense documentation without retooling your CSS tokens.

Audiowide thrives as a headline face thanks to its techno, futuristic, sci-fi qualities. Use weights 400–600 for crisp editorial lockups.
Courgette excels in paragraphs and UI thanks to its brush, italic, low-contrast traits. Keep it between weights 400–600 for optimal readability.
Hierarchy guidance: run a 1:1.4 modular scale and reserve Audiowide for H1–H3 while Courgette powers captions, body copy, and data tables.

Best-Fit Use Cases

  • High-growth SaaS landing pages that require techno hero statements with trustworthy product copy.
  • Editorial magazines and thought-leadership hubs where Audiowide can dramatize pull quotes while Courgette keeps 1,500-word essays skimmable.
  • Conversion funnels or onboarding flows that need Courgette's brush voice to balance Audiowide's attention-grabbing display.

Accessibility Notes

Maintain a minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio for Courgette body copy and loosen letter-spacing to 0.01em for uppercase Audiowide moments. Pairing different categories demands disciplined color pairing—test both light and dark themes to ensure Courgette does not bloom at small sizes.

FAQs

Why does Audiowide make sense as the lead font?

Audiowide owns the emotional register of this system. Its techno, futuristic, sci-fi profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Courgette show up?

Courgette is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its brush, italic, low-contrast qualities reduce fatigue on dense layouts.

Does this pairing support complex localization?

Yes—both families are available on Google Fonts with generous glyph coverage. Test cyrillic/latin accents early, but most Latin-based locales and UI patterns are fully supported.
