Surface split

One voice across both surfaces

This brand uses the same pair everywhere. A marketing face and an application face can be split at any time by declaring one per surface in the brand registry; until then both panels resolve identically.

Marketing surface

Campaign pages, hero moments, the public site.

data-surface="marketing"

Accounting Office, in its own voice.

Marketing copy gets room to breathe: generous measures, expressive headlines, and a face chosen to be seen before it is read.

Heading: Merriweather
Body: Open Sans
Origin: Inherits the base pair

Enterprise application surface

Product screens, dense tables, forms, operator tools.

data-surface="application"

Open invoices, 128 rows

Application copy is read all day at small sizes: labels, table cells, validation messages, and column headers that must stay legible under density.

Heading: Merriweather
Body: Open Sans
Origin: Inherits the base pair
