Pairing Strategy

Balancing Faustina with Titillium Web

Build a contrast-first system where Faustina leads and Titillium Web keeps long-form content legible.

This pairing is engineered for teams that need a clear hierarchy without sacrificing brand voice. Faustina brings omnibus, press, editorial energy to hero units, pricing sections, and campaign headlines. Titillium Web absorbs the heavy lifting for paragraphs, product storytelling, and UI labels with its techno, academic, square 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.

Faustina thrives as a headline face thanks to its omnibus, press, editorial qualities. Use weights 700–900 for crisp editorial lockups.
Titillium Web excels in paragraphs and UI thanks to its techno, academic, square traits. Keep it between weights 400–600 for optimal readability.
Hierarchy guidance: run a 1:1.4 modular scale and reserve Faustina for H1–H3 while Titillium Web powers captions, body copy, and data tables.

Best-Fit Use Cases

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

Accessibility Notes

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

FAQs

Why does Faustina make sense as the lead font?

Faustina owns the emotional register of this system. Its omnibus, press, editorial profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Titillium Web show up?

Titillium Web is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its techno, academic, square 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.
