Balancing Anton with Grand Hotel

This pairing is engineered for teams that need a clear hierarchy without sacrificing brand voice. Anton brings bold, web-font, advertising energy to hero units, pricing sections, and campaign headlines. Grand Hotel absorbs the heavy lifting for paragraphs, product storytelling, and UI labels with its vintage, script, hotel texture and dependable rhythm.

Anton thrives as a headline face thanks to its bold, web-font, advertising qualities. Use weights 400–600 for crisp editorial lockups.
Grand Hotel excels in paragraphs and UI thanks to its vintage, script, hotel traits. Keep it between weights 400–600 for optimal readability.
Hierarchy guidance: run a 1:1.4 modular scale and reserve Anton for H1–H3 while Grand Hotel powers captions, body copy, and data tables.

Best-Fit Use Cases

  • High-growth SaaS landing pages that require bold hero statements with trustworthy product copy.
  • Editorial magazines and thought-leadership hubs where Anton can dramatize pull quotes while Grand Hotel keeps 1,500-word essays skimmable.

Accessibility Notes

Maintain a minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio for Grand Hotel body copy and loosen letter-spacing to 0.01em for uppercase Anton moments. Pairing different categories demands disciplined color pairing—test both light and dark themes to ensure Grand Hotel does not bloom at small sizes.

FAQs

Why does Anton make sense as the lead font?

Anton owns the emotional register of this system. Its bold, web-font, advertising profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Grand Hotel show up?

Grand Hotel is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its vintage, script, hotel qualities reduce fatigue on dense layouts.

Does this pairing support complex localization?

Yes—both families are available on Google Fonts with generous glyph coverage. Test cyrillic/latin accents early, but most Latin-based locales and UI patterns are fully supported.
