Systematizing Sarala & Inter Tight

Build a mono-category system where Sarala leads and Inter Tight keeps long-form content legible.

This pairing is engineered for teams that need a clear hierarchy without sacrificing brand voice. Sarala brings devanagari, humanist, clean energy to hero units, pricing sections, and campaign headlines. Inter Tight absorbs the heavy lifting for paragraphs, product storytelling, and UI labels with its compact, geometric, neutral 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.

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

Best-Fit Use Cases

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

Accessibility Notes

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

FAQs

Why does Sarala make sense as the lead font?

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

Where should Inter Tight show up?

Inter Tight is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its compact, geometric, neutral 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.
