Where to Use Acid — and Where to Pause

Large headlines (48px and up)
Short phrases — taglines, quotes, event names
Brand marks and monograms (especially uppercase-only treatments)
Premium packaging accents — foil-stamped details, embossed debossing
Social posts with minimal copy and strong visual framing
Decorative accents in editorial layouts — drop caps, divider bars, chapter numbers

Body text or long paragraphs — it’s a display font, not a workhorse
Small print on product labels or legal disclaimers
UI elements like buttons or form fields
Anything requiring immediate, effortless readability under time pressure (e.g., event signage viewed while walking)

Designer Notes You’ll Actually Use

Test it in pure black on pure white — then reverse it. Some display fonts lose character in inversion; Acid holds up, but check the counters in ‘e’, ‘a’, and ‘o’.
Print a sample at 12pt, 18pt, and 24pt on your intended paper stock. Does the lowercase ‘g’ stay legible? Does the ‘S’ feel balanced?
Drop it into real mockups — not just Photoshop layers, but printed proofs, phone screenshots, and physical packaging dummies. Context changes everything.
Compare uppercase vs. lowercase usage. Acid’s uppercase has more authority; the lowercase feels slightly more approachable but less distinctive. Choose deliberately.
Run pairing tests: set Acid beside a trusted serif font (e.g., Playfair Display), a neutral sans serif (e.g., Lato), a relaxed script font (e.g., Pacifico), a tight handwritten font (e.g., Quicksand Bold), and another display font (e.g., Baskerville Poster). Note where hierarchy feels natural — and where Acid gets lost or overpowers.
