Unbounded thrives as a headline face thanks to its wide, variable, modern qualities. Use weights 700–900 for crisp editorial lockups.
Lemonada excels in paragraphs and UI thanks to its arabic, modern, playful traits. Keep it between weights 400–600 for optimal readability.

FAQs

Why does Unbounded make sense as the lead font?

Unbounded owns the emotional register of this system. Its wide, variable, modern profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Lemonada show up?

Lemonada is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its arabic, modern, playful 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.
