Merriweather & Work Sans

A sturdy screen serif headline with a unfussy 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: Merriweather is the sturdy screen serif of the page, and Work Sans is the unfussy geometric sans that lets it stand out.
