Crimson Text & Roboto
A old-style reading serif headline with a neutral Android grotesque body.
Contrast is the whole idea
Two faces, two jobs
A pairing fails when both faces are asking for the same attention.
Why it works
The pairing works because the two faces never compete: Crimson Text is the old-style reading serif of the page, and Roboto is the neutral Android grotesque that lets it stand out.
