Balancing Rajdhani with Faustina

Build a contrast-first system where Rajdhani leads and Faustina keeps long-form content legible.

This pairing is engineered for teams that need a clear hierarchy without sacrificing brand voice. Rajdhani brings squared, futuristic, technical energy to hero units, pricing sections, and campaign headlines. Faustina absorbs the heavy lifting for paragraphs, product storytelling, and UI labels with its omnibus, press, editorial 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.

Rajdhani thrives as a headline face thanks to its squared, futuristic, technical qualities. Use weights 700–900 for crisp editorial lockups.
Faustina excels in paragraphs and UI thanks to its omnibus, press, editorial traits. Keep it between weights 400–600 for optimal readability.
Hierarchy guidance: run a 1:1.4 modular scale and reserve Rajdhani for H1–H3 while Faustina powers captions, body copy, and data tables.

Best-Fit Use Cases

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

Accessibility Notes

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

FAQs

Why does Rajdhani make sense as the lead font?

Rajdhani owns the emotional register of this system. Its squared, futuristic, technical profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Faustina show up?

Faustina is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its omnibus, press, editorial 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.
