IBM Plex Mono & Crimson Text

A corporate coding monospace headline with a old-style reading serif body.

Every page needs two voices

Display, then workhorse

One face carries the personality and the other carries the paragraph.

Why it works

Use IBM Plex Mono for code, captions and running heads and Crimson Text for the prose between them; the corporate coding monospace and the old-style reading serif never compete.
