Playfair Display & Libre Baskerville
A high-contrast Didone headline with a sturdy book serif body.
Every page needs two voices
Display, then workhorse
One face carries the personality and the other carries the paragraph.
Why it works
Playfair Display sets the tone at heading sizes and Libre Baskerville does the reading. Playfair Display's high-contrast Didone opening line over Libre Baskerville's sturdy book serif paragraph keeps the page from feeling flat.
