A high-contrast Didone headline with a low-contrast geometric sans body.

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

Why it works

The contrast is the point here: Playfair Display's high-contrast Didone letterforms set against the even rhythm of DM Sans's low-contrast geometric sans lowercase.
