Designer Notes You’ll Actually Use

Test in black and white first. Koko’s charm lives in contrast—not color. If it doesn’t hold up in grayscale mockups, it won’t land in final use.
Check small-size readability on real devices. Not just desktop previews—zoom out on your phone. At 18px on mobile, Koko’s lowercase ‘c’ and ‘o’ can merge. Reserve it for 24px minimum in digital contexts.
Compare uppercase vs. lowercase usage. The caps are bolder, slightly tighter. They work for short brand marks (“KOBE”, “LUME”) but feel heavier in full names. Default to lowercase for organic flow.
Review spacing before exporting. Koko’s default kerning is thoughtful—but tighten tracking by -10–20 units for logos; loosen by +30 for large-format posters to prevent visual crowding.
Test font pairing rigorously. Try it beside a serif font (for contrast), a sans serif font (for balance), and a neutral display font (to avoid competition). Avoid pairing with other script fonts or decorative handwritten fonts—they cancel each other out.
Confirm commercial licensing—without assumptions. Koko is a commercial font from Script Amp, but usage rights vary by license tier. If you’re embedding in a digital product or reselling Canva templates, verify redistribution terms upfront. I’ve paused client launches twice because of overlooked license restrictions.
