Systematizing Hanken Grotesk & Maven Pro

Build a mono-category system where Hanken Grotesk leads and Maven Pro keeps long-form content legible.

This pairing is engineered for teams that need a clear hierarchy without sacrificing brand voice. Hanken Grotesk brings grotesque, clean, neutral energy to hero units, pricing sections, and campaign headlines. Maven Pro absorbs the heavy lifting for paragraphs, product storytelling, and UI labels with its modern, curvature, distinct 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.

Hanken Grotesk thrives as a headline face thanks to its grotesque, clean, neutral qualities. Use weights 700–900 for crisp editorial lockups.
Maven Pro excels in paragraphs and UI thanks to its modern, curvature, distinct traits. Keep it between weights 400–600 for optimal readability.
Hierarchy guidance: run a 1:1.2 modular scale and reserve Hanken Grotesk for H1–H3 while Maven Pro powers captions, body copy, and data tables.

Best-Fit Use Cases

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

Accessibility Notes

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

FAQs

Why does Hanken Grotesk make sense as the lead font?

Hanken Grotesk owns the emotional register of this system. Its grotesque, clean, neutral profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Maven Pro show up?

Maven Pro is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its modern, curvature, distinct 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.
