Pairing Strategy

Systematizing Exo & Hind

Build a mono-category system where Exo leads and Hind keeps long-form content legible.

This pairing is engineered for teams that need a clear hierarchy without sacrificing brand voice. Exo brings techno, geometric, futuristic energy to hero units, pricing sections, and campaign headlines. Hind absorbs the heavy lifting for paragraphs, product storytelling, and UI labels with its legible, humanist, open 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.

Exo thrives as a headline face thanks to its techno, geometric, futuristic qualities. Use weights 700–900 for crisp editorial lockups.
Hind excels in paragraphs and UI thanks to its legible, humanist, open traits. Keep it between weights 400–600 for optimal readability.
Hierarchy guidance: run a 1:1.2 modular scale and reserve Exo for H1–H3 while Hind powers captions, body copy, and data tables.

Best-Fit Use Cases

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

Accessibility Notes

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

CSS Implementation Cheatsheet

:root {
  --tm-header-family: 'Exo', sans-serif;
  --tm-body-family: 'Hind', sans-serif;
  --tm-header-weight: 700;
  --tm-body-weight: 400;
  --tm-header-tracking: -0.01em;
  --tm-body-tracking: -0.005em;
}
Heading scale: clamp(2.75rem, 3.6vw, 5.25rem) for H1, clamp(1.5rem, 2.8vw, 3rem) for H2, and keep paragraph size at 1rem–1.125rem with 1.6 line-height.
Component guidance: Buttons inherit Exo at 700 for momentum, while forms, tables, and footnotes stay on Hind with 400 weight for predictable kerning.

FAQs

Why does Exo make sense as the lead font?

Exo owns the emotional register of this system. Its techno, geometric, futuristic profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Hind show up?

Hind is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its legible, humanist, open 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.
