FAQs

Why does Homemade Apple make sense as the lead font?

Homemade Apple owns the emotional register of this system. Its cursive, messy, pencil profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Great Vibes show up?

Great Vibes is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its calligraphy, elegant, wedding 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.
