Clayo: A Warm, Grounded Sans Serif for Real Work
Designer Notes You’ll Actually Use
- Test in black and white first. Clayo’s subtlety disappears on low-contrast screens or cheap print—verify legibility before committing to color.
- Check small-size readability on real devices—not just Figma previews. Try 12pt on a printed business card mockup or a 16pt label scan.
- Compare uppercase vs. lowercase usage. Its lowercase has more personality; uppercase reads clean but loses some warmth. Choose deliberately.
- Review spacing—kerning and tracking—manually. Auto-kerning often tightens Clayo too much. Loosen tracking by 20–40 units in headlines for air and elegance.
- Pair it intentionally: try it beside a sturdy serif font (for contrast), a clean sans serif font (for balance), a delicate script font (for accent), a relaxed handwritten font (for texture), and another display font (to avoid visual competition).
- Confirm commercial licensing before using in client work, digital products, or any resale asset—even if you’re a solo designer selling Canva templates or printable design bundles.
