FAQs

Why does Luckiest Guy make sense as the lead font?

Luckiest Guy owns the emotional register of this system. Its fun, comic, loud profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Syne is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its art-house, extreme, unique qualities reduce fatigue on dense layouts.

Does this pairing support complex localization?
