Thanks MADE Type for creating and sharing this.
The preview tells you exactly what this duo is built for: a warm, appetite-driven headline moment paired with a quieter supporting line underneath it. The word “WAFFLE” up top is set in the rounded, extra-bold sans, and it reads with real weight and confidence, the kind of chunky, friendly display letterform that survives being dropped on top of a busy photo without losing legibility. Right below it, “WAFFLE SLAB” is set in the companion slab serif, noticeably lighter in visual weight, with small blocky feet on each letter that give it a more structured, printed feel.
That contrast between the two styles is really the whole idea behind MADE Waffle. Waffle Soft ExtraBold is the shout, the logotype-ready word that anchors a composition. Waffle Slab is the follow-up voice, the tagline, the small label, the supporting detail that keeps the design from feeling like it’s all caps and all volume.
Because the sans is so round and bold, it carries a lot of personality on its own. It has that soft, almost cushioned look to the letterforms, no sharp corners, which is why it reads as approachable rather than aggressive even at full weight.
The slab serif, by contrast, feels more grounded and a little more retro-diner, more like something you’d see stamped on a menu board or a packaging label. Put together, the pairing gives you a bold-and-light system without ever having to introduce a third typeface.
Where This Type Duo Works Best
This is a natural fit for food and beverage branding, especially anything in the breakfast, bakery, cafe, or brunch space. Think waffle houses, pancake brands, syrup labels, coffee shop menus, or a food truck logo.
It also works well outside food entirely. The rounded extra-bold sans on its own is strong enough for general branding, app icons, poster headlines, or merch, anywhere you need a friendly, high-impact wordmark.
Pair the slab serif with it for taglines, addresses, ingredient lists, or small print, and you get a complete two-tier hierarchy for packaging, social posts, or a simple business card without hunting for a second font family.
Because both cuts include uppercase and lowercase letters, numerals, and punctuation, you can build full sentences and pricing or menu details, not just short display words.
The added support for Latin Extended diacritics and Cyrillic also means the duo can carry over into European and Cyrillic-language branding without falling back to a substitute typeface, which matters if a project needs to travel beyond English copy.
When you’re setting this up in a design file, treat the two weights the way the preview does: let the bold sans take the largest size and the loudest color contrast, then drop the slab serif in underneath at a noticeably smaller size, often in a single color like white or black so it stays quiet.
A little extra letter spacing on the slab serif line helps it read as a caption rather than competing with the headline above it.
If you’re building a badge or logo lockup, try centering the slab serif line directly under the sans and matching its width to the headline above, which is essentially the layout shown in the preview and it holds up well at small sizes like a favicon or a stamp on packaging.
Since the files come as OTF, they’ll drop straight into any standard design or layout application without conversion, making it easy to test the pairing quickly in a logo mockup, a social template, or a print menu layout before committing to a final composition.
