Balancing Kanit with Satisfy

Build a contrast-first system where Kanit leads and Satisfy keeps long-form content legible.

This pairing is engineered for teams that need a clear hierarchy without sacrificing brand voice. Kanit brings modern, flat, loopless energy to hero units, pricing sections, and campaign headlines. Satisfy absorbs the heavy lifting for paragraphs, product storytelling, and UI labels with its brush, script, classic 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.

Kanit thrives as a headline face thanks to its modern, flat, loopless qualities. Use weights 700–900 for crisp editorial lockups.
Satisfy excels in paragraphs and UI thanks to its brush, script, classic traits. Keep it between weights 400–600 for optimal readability.
Hierarchy guidance: run a 1:1.4 modular scale and reserve Kanit for H1–H3 while Satisfy powers captions, body copy, and data tables.

Best-Fit Use Cases

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

Accessibility Notes

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

FAQs

Why does Kanit make sense as the lead font?

Kanit owns the emotional register of this system. Its modern, flat, loopless profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Satisfy show up?

Satisfy is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its brush, script, classic 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.
