Coustard

Coustard is a serif font with a warm, noticeable character. Its single normal style is available in regular 400 and heavy 900 weights, giving it a clear contrast between everyday text and stronger emphasis. It may suit designs that want a traditional foundation with a more expressive, display-friendly feel.

Best suited for: Use Coustard for prominent headings, posters, menus, labels, invitations, and short editorial features. The regular weight can support brief paragraphs or supporting copy, while the heavy weight is better reserved for titles, callouts, and other compact text where its presence can be appreciated.

Design considerations: The two available weights create a simple but useful hierarchy. Set the 400 weight at comfortable sizes when you need readable supporting text, and use 900 selectively for emphasis rather than long passages. Because only the normal style is listed, build variation through size, spacing, and layout instead of relying on italics.

Pairing guidance: For supporting text, try a restrained sans serif with an even texture and modest proportions, keeping the overall layout balanced. A quieter serif can also work when you want a more traditional combination. Match the companion’s weight and spacing carefully so Coustard remains distinctive without overwhelming the surrounding information.
