# Rounded heads + friendly sans — type pairing recipe

## The idea

- Two rounded sans faces of different weight and width give a soft, approachable voice that still keeps a clear hierarchy.

## Use it for

- Apps for families and learning
- Community and hobby clubs
- Friendly onboarding screens

## Avoid it when

- The subject is serious, legal or financial
- The brand must feel premium and restrained

## The faces

- Headings: Baloo 2, weights 600, 800 (self-hosted from @fontsource/baloo-2)
- Body: Nunito, weights 400, 700 (self-hosted from @fontsource/nunito)

## Scale and rhythm

- Scale: 15px, 17px, 20px, 26px, 34px, 46px
- Line height: 1.15 for headings, 1.6 for body text

## Principles

- Use the heavy rounded face only for headings and big numbers
- Keep body text in the lighter rounded sans at a regular weight
- Pair rounded type with rounded corners and soft shapes
- Write short, warm headings; the type does the smiling
- Keep contrast high so the soft shapes stay readable
