Playfair Display & Lato
A high-contrast Didone headline with a warm humanist sans body.
A quiet kind of luxury
Editorial layout, 2026
Lato keeps long paragraphs readable beneath a high-contrast Didone headline.
Why it works
Playfair Display's high stroke contrast needs a body face that will not compete with it. Lato is that face: it holds long paragraphs at a warm, even rhythm, so the Didone headline stays the only thing asking for attention.
