Systematizing Epilogue & Manrope

Build a mono-category system where Epilogue leads and Manrope keeps long-form content legible.

This pairing is engineered for teams that need a clear hierarchy without sacrificing brand voice. Epilogue brings variable, contemporary, ui energy to hero units, pricing sections, and campaign headlines. Manrope absorbs the heavy lifting for paragraphs, product storytelling, and UI labels with its modern, semi-geometric, universal 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.

Epilogue thrives as a headline face thanks to its variable, contemporary, ui qualities. Use weights 700–900 for crisp editorial lockups.
Manrope excels in paragraphs and UI thanks to its modern, semi-geometric, universal traits. Keep it between weights 400–600 for optimal readability.
Hierarchy guidance: run a 1:1.2 modular scale and reserve Epilogue for H1–H3 while Manrope powers captions, body copy, and data tables.

Best-Fit Use Cases

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

Accessibility Notes

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

FAQs

Why does Epilogue make sense as the lead font?

Epilogue owns the emotional register of this system. Its variable, contemporary, ui profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Manrope show up?

Manrope is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its modern, semi-geometric, universal 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.
