Hanson is a rank-2 temperament of the kleismic family, characterized by the vanishing of the kleisma. It is generated by a classical minor third (6/5), six of which make a twelfth (3/1). This naturally gives us hemitwelfths at only 3 generator steps, which can be interpreted as 26/15 (and thus hemifourths as 15/13), resulting in a low-complexity but high-accuracy extension to the 2.3.5.13 subgroup, sometimes known as cata.

7-limit extensions include keemun, catalan, catakleismic, countercata, and metakleismic.

For technical data, see Kleismic family #Hanson.
