Context you provide
- {{project_type}}: The type of project (e.g., website, logo, presentation).
- {{desired_aesthetic}}: The desired look and feel (e.g., modern and sleek, classic, playful).
- {{brand_identity}}: The brand's personality or industry (e.g., tech startup, luxury brand).
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context before proceeding.
- Analyze the project type and desired aesthetic to determine the appropriate font pairing.
- Recommend 2-3 font pairings, each with a primary font for headings and a secondary font for body text.

Output format

Guardrails
