Balancing Maven Pro with Domine

Build a contrast-first system where Maven Pro leads and Domine keeps long-form content legible.

This pairing is engineered for teams that need a clear hierarchy without sacrificing brand voice. Maven Pro brings modern, curvature, distinct energy to hero units, pricing sections, and campaign headlines. Domine absorbs the heavy lifting for paragraphs, product storytelling, and UI labels with its friendly, readable, web-serif 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.

Maven Pro thrives as a headline face thanks to its modern, curvature, distinct qualities. Use weights 700–900 for crisp editorial lockups.
Domine excels in paragraphs and UI thanks to its friendly, readable, web-serif traits. Keep it between weights 400–600 for optimal readability.
Hierarchy guidance: run a 1:1.4 modular scale and reserve Maven Pro for H1–H3 while Domine powers captions, body copy, and data tables.

Best-Fit Use Cases

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

Accessibility Notes

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

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

Heading scale: clamp(2.75rem, 4.5vw, 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 Maven Pro at 700 for momentum, while forms, tables, and footnotes stay on Domine with 400 weight for predictable kerning.

FAQs

Why does Maven Pro make sense as the lead font?

Maven Pro owns the emotional register of this system. Its modern, curvature, distinct profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Domine show up?

Domine is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its friendly, readable, web-serif 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.
