Systematizing Heebo & Public Sans

Build a mono-category system where Heebo leads and Public Sans keeps long-form content legible.

This pairing is engineered for teams that need a clear hierarchy without sacrificing brand voice. Heebo brings hebrew, geometric, crisp energy to hero units, pricing sections, and campaign headlines. Public Sans absorbs the heavy lifting for paragraphs, product storytelling, and UI labels with its neutral, governmental, clean 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.

Heebo thrives as a headline face thanks to its hebrew, geometric, crisp qualities. Use weights 700–900 for crisp editorial lockups.
Public Sans excels in paragraphs and UI thanks to its neutral, governmental, clean traits. Keep it between weights 400–600 for optimal readability.
Hierarchy guidance: run a 1:1.2 modular scale and reserve Heebo for H1–H3 while Public Sans powers captions, body copy, and data tables.

Best-Fit Use Cases

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

Accessibility Notes

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

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 Heebo at 700 for momentum, while forms, tables, and footnotes stay on Public Sans with 400 weight for predictable kerning.

FAQs

Why does Heebo make sense as the lead font?

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

Where should Public Sans show up?

Public Sans is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its neutral, governmental, clean 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.
