Systematizing Mada & Orbitron

Build a mono-category system where Mada leads and Orbitron keeps long-form content legible.

This pairing is engineered for teams that need a clear hierarchy without sacrificing brand voice. Mada brings arabic, modern, low-contrast energy to hero units, pricing sections, and campaign headlines. Orbitron absorbs the heavy lifting for paragraphs, product storytelling, and UI labels with its sci-fi, futuristic, space 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.

Mada thrives as a headline face thanks to its arabic, modern, low-contrast qualities. Use weights 700–900 for crisp editorial lockups.
Orbitron excels in paragraphs and UI thanks to its sci-fi, futuristic, space traits. Keep it between weights 400–600 for optimal readability.
Hierarchy guidance: run a 1:1.2 modular scale and reserve Mada for H1–H3 while Orbitron powers captions, body copy, and data tables.

Best-Fit Use Cases

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

Accessibility Notes

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

  --tm-header-family: 'Mada', sans-serif;

  --tm-body-weight: 400;
  --tm-header-tracking: -0.01em;

}
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 Mada at 700 for momentum, while forms, tables, and footnotes stay on Orbitron with 400 weight for predictable kerning.

FAQs

Why does Mada make sense as the lead font?

Mada owns the emotional register of this system. Its arabic, modern, low-contrast profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Orbitron show up?

Orbitron is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its sci-fi, futuristic, space 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.
