FAQs

Why does Gloria Hallelujah make sense as the lead font?

Gloria Hallelujah owns the emotional register of this system. Its fun, school, marker profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Roboto show up?

Roboto is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its mechanical, fluid, approachable 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.
