This pairing is engineered for teams that need a clear hierarchy without sacrificing brand voice. Pinyon Script brings elegant, romantic, wedding energy to hero units, pricing sections, and campaign headlines. Exo absorbs the heavy lifting for paragraphs, product storytelling, and UI labels with its techno, geometric, futuristic texture and dependable rhythm.

Pinyon Script thrives as a headline face thanks to its elegant, romantic, wedding qualities. Use weights 400–600 for crisp editorial lockups.
Exo excels in paragraphs and UI thanks to its techno, geometric, futuristic traits. Keep it between weights 400–600 for optimal readability.
Hierarchy guidance: run a 1:1.4 modular scale and reserve Pinyon Script for H1–H3 while Exo powers captions, body copy, and data tables.

Best-Fit Use Cases

  • High-growth SaaS landing pages that require elegant hero statements with trustworthy product copy.
  • Editorial magazines and thought-leadership hubs where Pinyon Script can dramatize pull quotes while Exo keeps 1,500-word essays skimmable.

Accessibility Notes

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

FAQs

Why does Pinyon Script make sense as the lead font?

Pinyon Script owns the emotional register of this system. Its elegant, romantic, wedding profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Exo show up?

Exo is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its techno, geometric, futuristic 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.
