Pairing checks that matter
Run these checks at the sizes you will actually ship.
- Headline personality vs. body stability: do they support each other instead of competing at 24px vs. 16px?
- Latin and Hangul together: baseline rhythm, width, and weight steps still feel natural in one sentence.
- Cross-medium use: does the pair survive slides, landing pages, and dense 12–14px UI screens?
- Numeric emphasis: do prices, percentages, and table figures stay aligned when weights shift to 600 or 700?
- Fallback behavior: if one font lacks a weight, does the substitute break button hierarchy or chart labels?
