Balancing Lustria with Poiret One

Build a contrast-first system where Lustria leads and Poiret One keeps long-form content legible.

This pairing is engineered for teams that need a clear hierarchy without sacrificing brand voice. Lustria brings rounded, serif, text energy to hero units, pricing sections, and campaign headlines. Poiret One absorbs the heavy lifting for paragraphs, product storytelling, and UI labels with its geometric, thin, art-deco 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.

Lustria thrives as a headline face thanks to its rounded, serif, text qualities. Use weights 400–600 for crisp editorial lockups.
Poiret One excels in paragraphs and UI thanks to its geometric, thin, art-deco traits. Keep it between weights 400–600 for optimal readability.
Hierarchy guidance: run a 1:1.4 modular scale and reserve Lustria for H1–H3 while Poiret One powers captions, body copy, and data tables.

Best-Fit Use Cases

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

Accessibility Notes

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

FAQs

Why does Lustria make sense as the lead font?

Lustria owns the emotional register of this system. Its rounded, serif, text profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Poiret One show up?

Poiret One is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its geometric, thin, art-deco 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.
