Balancing Syne with Glegoo

Build a contrast-first system where Syne leads and Glegoo keeps long-form content legible.

This pairing is engineered for teams that need a clear hierarchy without sacrificing brand voice. Syne brings art-house, extreme, unique energy to hero units, pricing sections, and campaign headlines. Glegoo absorbs the heavy lifting for paragraphs, product storytelling, and UI labels with its slab, balanced, modern 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.

Syne thrives as a headline face thanks to its art-house, extreme, unique qualities. Use weights 700–900 for crisp editorial lockups.
Glegoo excels in paragraphs and UI thanks to its slab, balanced, modern traits. Keep it between weights 400–600 for optimal readability.
Hierarchy guidance: run a 1:1.4 modular scale and reserve Syne for H1–H3 while Glegoo powers captions, body copy, and data tables.

Best-Fit Use Cases

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

Accessibility Notes

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

  --tm-header-family: 'Syne', sans-serif;

  --tm-body-weight: 400;
  --tm-header-tracking: -0.01em;
  --tm-body-tracking: 0em;
}
Heading scale: clamp(2.75rem, 4.5vw, 5.25rem) for H1, clamp(1.5rem, 2.8vw, 3rem) for H2, and keep paragraph size at 1rem–1.125rem with 1.6 line-height.
Component guidance: Buttons inherit Syne at 700 for momentum, while forms, tables, and footnotes stay on Glegoo with 400 weight for predictable kerning.

FAQs

Why does Syne make sense as the lead font?

Syne owns the emotional register of this system. Its art-house, extreme, unique profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Glegoo show up?

Glegoo is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its slab, balanced, modern 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.
