Puritan

Puritan is a sans-serif family with a compact set of regular and bold weights, each available in normal and italic styles. Its clean, letterform-focused appearance can suit projects that need readable text with a little visual character, from short interface labels to editorial snippets and informal branding.

Best suited for: Use Puritan for headings, navigation, captions, posters, announcements, and short paragraphs where a sans-serif structure helps information stay clear. The bold weight can bring emphasis to titles or key details, while the regular weight is better for supporting text and smaller blocks.

Design considerations: With only regular and bold weights, the family works best when hierarchy is kept simple. Use regular for the main layer of information and bold for clear contrast rather than subtle gradations. Italics add emphasis or distinction within either weight, but generous spacing and comfortable line height will help preserve readability in longer passages.

Pairing guidance: For contrast, pair Puritan with a serif that has calm, readable proportions, especially when the serif handles longer text and Puritan is reserved for headings. It can also work with a neutral sans-serif in a broader range of weights, using Puritan selectively for labels, titles, or highlighted notes. Keep size and spacing relationships consistent.
