Curator's Notes

Notes on Visual Hierarchy

As demonstrated in the specimens above, Birds of Paradise commands superior legibility and emotional resonance when deployed as a prominent headline or focal mark. For multiline body passages, consider pairing it with neutral sans-serifs (such as Plus Jakarta Sans) or transitional book serifs (such as Cormorant Garamond) to ensure continuous reading comfort.
