# Calligraphic humanist family — type pairing recipe

## The idea
- A serif and a sans drawn as one family share their pen-made proportions, so the pair feels lively and handmade yet perfectly matched.

## Use it for
- Small food producers and markets
- Craft workshops and makers
- Heritage walks and local history

## Avoid it when
- The design must look cool, minimal or corporate
- The text is mostly tables of numbers

## The faces
- Headings: Alegreya (@fontsource/alegreya), weights 700
- Body: Alegreya Sans (@fontsource/alegreya-sans), weights 400 and 500

## Scale and rhythm
- Scale: 15px, 17px, 21px, 27px, 36px, 50px
- Heading line height: 1.15
- Body line height: 1.6

## Principles
- Use the serif for headings and the sans for reading; the shared skeleton holds them together.
- Lean into the calligraphic italics of the serif for short subtitles and quotes.
- Keep the palette and layout simple so the lively letterforms do the decorating.
- Use the medium sans weight for labels and buttons instead of a heavier bold.
