Pairing Playpen with Belarius

Finding the right font pairing is art and science — experimentation and equation and intuition. Some pairings are as easygoing as having a built-in best friend, others create a welcome crackle of tension and aesthetic interest. If the typefaces are too alike, readers lose focus; too different, and they lose the will to continue trying. Enter: Belarius with Playpen Sans, giving a sense of elevated approachability to text. 

Belarius is a variable font that shifts from sans to slab serif, supplying the right tone from investigative journalism to advertisements. Its 90 styles are poignant and capable at any size. Playpen Sans is where digital excellence meets casual handwriting, including an advanced character shuffler and enough personality to make the little things shine. Its eight styles won’t overwhelm the page with idiosyncrasies, but provide just enough levity for effect. 

One typeface is highly structured, the other is ultra-casual; one has tighter spacing, the other is as loose as necessary; their character heights are similar without being copycats; and they fulfill two different sets of text needs. Figuring out these features are just a few ways of pairing typefaces. Try them for yourself on our website type tester now.
