Pairing Strategy

Balancing Coda with Epilogue

Anchor the expressive personality of Coda with the utilitarian clarity of Epilogue.

This pairing is engineered for teams that need a clear hierarchy without sacrificing brand voice. Coda brings blocky, heavy, display energy to hero units, pricing sections, and campaign headlines. Epilogue absorbs the heavy lifting for paragraphs, product storytelling, and UI labels with its variable, contemporary, ui 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.

Coda thrives as a headline face thanks to its blocky, heavy, display qualities. Use weights 800–1000 for crisp editorial lockups.
Epilogue excels in paragraphs and UI thanks to its variable, contemporary, ui traits. Keep it between weights 400–600 for optimal readability.
Hierarchy guidance: run a 1:1.4 modular scale and reserve Coda for H1–H3 while Epilogue powers captions, body copy, and data tables.

Best-Fit Use Cases

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

Accessibility Notes

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

CSS Implementation Cheatsheet

:root {
  --tm-header-family: 'Coda', display;
  --tm-body-family: 'Epilogue', sans-serif;
  --tm-header-weight: 800;
  --tm-body-weight: 400;
  --tm-header-tracking: -0.04em;
  --tm-body-tracking: 0em;
}
Heading scale: clamp(2.75rem, 4.5vw, 5.25rem) for H1, clamp(1.5rem, 2.8vw, 3rem) for H2, and keep paragraph size at 1rem–1.125rem with 1.6 line-height.
Component guidance: Buttons inherit Coda at 800 for momentum, while forms, tables, and footnotes stay on Epilogue with 400 weight for predictable kerning.

FAQs

Why does Coda make sense as the lead font?

Coda owns the emotional register of this system. Its blocky, heavy, display profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Epilogue show up?

Epilogue is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its variable, contemporary, ui 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.
