Playfair Display & Work Sans

A high-contrast Didone 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

Set Playfair Display at display size and Work Sans everywhere else — the high-contrast Didone headline carries the personality while the unfussy geometric sans body carries the reading.
