Crimson Text & Rubik

A old-style reading serif headline with a soft-cornered geometric sans 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 Rubik is the soft-cornered geometric sans that lets it stand out.
