This pairing is engineered for teams that need a clear hierarchy without sacrificing brand voice. Be Vietnam Pro brings modern, tech, engaging energy to hero units, pricing sections, and campaign headlines. Spectral absorbs the heavy lifting for paragraphs, product storytelling, and UI labels with its screen-first, efficient, rich texture and dependable rhythm. Together they create a typography stack that scales from high-impact landing pages to dense documentation without retooling your CSS tokens.

Be Vietnam Pro thrives as a headline face thanks to its modern, tech, engaging qualities. Use weights 700–900 for crisp editorial lockups.
Spectral excels in paragraphs and UI thanks to its screen-first, efficient, rich traits. Keep it between weights 400–600 for optimal readability.
Hierarchy guidance: run a 1:1.4 modular scale and reserve Be Vietnam Pro for H1–H3 while Spectral powers captions, body copy, and data tables.

Best-Fit Use Cases

  • High-growth SaaS landing pages that require modern hero statements with trustworthy product copy.
  • Editorial magazines and thought-leadership hubs where Be Vietnam Pro can dramatize pull quotes while Spectral keeps 1,500-word essays skimmable.
  • Conversion funnels or onboarding flows that need Spectral's screen-first voice to balance Be Vietnam Pro's attention-grabbing display.

Accessibility Notes

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

FAQs

Why does Be Vietnam Pro make sense as the lead font?

Be Vietnam Pro owns the emotional register of this system. Its modern, tech, engaging profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Spectral show up?

Spectral is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its screen-first, efficient, rich 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.
