How to use them

FIELD

Set the headline in Field Gothic Wide, a sans-serif by Max Phillips, and the text under it in Sant'Elia Script, a script by Ryan Martinson.

A sans-serif over a script keeps the two roles apart by shape, so the pair still reads clearly at small sizes.

SMOOCH

Set the headline in Smooch Sans, a sans serif by Robert Leuschke, and the text under it in Joly Display, a serif by Leon Hugues.

A sans serif over a serif keeps the two roles apart by shape, so the pair still reads clearly at small sizes.

BOXING

Set the headline in Boxing, a slab serif by Ruosi HUANG, and the text under it in Mistral MN, a script.

A slab serif over a script keeps the two roles apart by shape, so the pair still reads clearly at small sizes.

INTER

Set the headline in Inter, a sans serif by Rasmus Andersson, and the text under it in Homemade Apple, a handwriting by Font Diner.

A sans serif over a handwriting keeps the two roles apart by shape, so the pair still reads clearly at small sizes.

ERICA

Set the headline in Erica One, a display by Miguel Hernandez, and the text under it in Berkshire Swash, a handwriting by Astigmatic.

A display over a handwriting keeps the two roles apart by shape, so the pair still reads clearly at small sizes.

DiSpigna

Set the headline in DiSpigna Ultra, a serif by Tony DeSpigna, and the text under it in Thirsty Script, a script by Ryan Martinson.

A serif over a script keeps the two roles apart by shape, so the pair still reads clearly at small sizes.
