Typography, the warm editorial pairing.
Fraunces (variable serif) for display, Instrument Sans (humanist sans) for body, Geist Mono for verifiable numerics. Headlines configure 'opsz' 96–144 and 'SOFT' 80–100 for the canonical Veraq voice. Italics are reserved for one or two accent words per headline.
Fraunces — display
Display XL · clamp(3.25rem, 9vw, 7.5rem)
Light, shared evenly.
Display LG · clamp(2.4rem, 6vw, 4.6rem)
An ecosystem, not a platform.
Display MD · clamp(2rem, 4.4vw, 3.6rem)
How it holds together.
Display SM · 1.55rem
Open record · Verifiable mechanisms · Charitable upside
Instrument Sans — body
Body LG · 18px / 1.55
The Veraq premise is short, but it folds three commitments inside one sentence: openness, reproducibility, and shared upside. Each one is structural — not a feature, not a flourish.
Body MD · 16px / 1.6
Most digital opportunity has been built around mechanisms that cannot be inspected. Veraq starts from the opposite premise: open systems make better outcomes, and verifiable systems make better trust.
Body SM · 14.5px / 1.65
Read the mechanism, replay the algorithm, verify the result. The math is meant to be inspectable.
Geist Mono — numerics & labels

The italic rule
Italics are an accent device. One word per headline, two at most, and only when the reader's attention belongs there. Italics never appear in body paragraphs or marketing taglines.
