Playfair Display & PT Serif

A high-contrast Didone headline with a even Russian text serif 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

This is a serif-on-serif pairing that avoids the usual mush — Playfair Display stays decorative up top while PT Serif stays legible in the body.
