Balancing Righteous with Quattrocento

Anchor the expressive personality of Righteous with the utilitarian clarity of Quattrocento.

This pairing is engineered for teams that need a clear hierarchy without sacrificing brand voice. Righteous brings grid-based, techno, modern energy to hero units, pricing sections, and campaign headlines. Quattrocento absorbs the heavy lifting for paragraphs, product storytelling, and UI labels with its classic, roman, elegant 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.

Righteous thrives as a headline face thanks to its grid-based, techno, modern qualities. Use weights 400–600 for crisp editorial lockups.
Quattrocento excels in paragraphs and UI thanks to its classic, roman, elegant traits. Keep it between weights 400–600 for optimal readability.
Hierarchy guidance: run a 1:1.4 modular scale and reserve Righteous for H1–H3 while Quattrocento powers captions, body copy, and data tables.

Best-Fit Use Cases

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

Accessibility Notes

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

FAQs

Why does Righteous make sense as the lead font?

Righteous owns the emotional register of this system. Its grid-based, techno, modern profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Quattrocento show up?

Quattrocento is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its classic, roman, elegant 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.
