FAQs

Why does Pathway Gothic One make sense as the lead font?

Pathway Gothic One owns the emotional register of this system. Its condensed, narrow, gothic profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Rajdhani show up?

Rajdhani is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its squared, futuristic, technical 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.
