$ About Fraunces

Fraunces is a serif typeface designed by Undercase Type, available for free on Google Fonts under the SIL Open Font License. It comes with 9 weights (from Thin (100) to Black (900)), making it highly versatile across different design contexts.

As a serif font, Fraunces brings a sense of tradition and elegance. The decorative strokes (serifs) at the ends of letterforms create a classic feel that works beautifully for headings, editorial content, and anywhere you want to add a touch of sophistication.

For App Store and Google Play screenshots, Fraunces can be used as a heading font to create visual hierarchy — pair it with a clean sans-serif like Inter or Open Sans for body text. The key is consistency: use the same font across all your screenshots so the set reads as one cohesive design.
