A typeface superfamily groups related typeface families that share a base design while differing in classification or other features. This makes cohesive font pairing easier while preserving enough variation for hierarchy. section 8.2.2
Roboto and Roboto Slab
Roboto Slab can give headlines a slab-serif character, while Roboto supports body copy as a sans serif. Increase the heading’s weight to make the hierarchy clearer. section 8.2.2
Use a superfamily pairing to make typography cohesive and readable:
- Assign contrasting members to different roles, such as headlines and body copy. section 8.2.2
- Check that size, weight, or style differs enough to create visible hierarchy. section 8.2.2
