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

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.
