How to use them
Unbounded + Bodoni Moda + Caveat Brush
Set the headline in Unbounded, a sans serif by NaN, and the text under it in Bodoni Moda, a serif by Owen Earl.
A sans serif over a serif keeps the two roles apart by shape, so the pair still reads clearly at small sizes.
Caveat Brush is the accent: use it sparingly, for a word or a detail, never a paragraph.
Dela Gothic One + Libre Caslon Display + Permanent Marker
Set the headline in Dela Gothic One, a display by artakana, and the text under it in Libre Caslon Display, a serif by Impallari Type.
A display over a serif keeps the two roles apart by shape, so the pair still reads clearly at small sizes.
Permanent Marker is the accent: use it sparingly, for a word or a detail, never a paragraph.
Big Shoulders Display + DM Serif Display + Corinthia
Set the headline in Big Shoulders Display, a sans-serif by Patric King, and the text under it in DM Serif Display, a serif by Colophon Foundry.
A sans-serif over a serif keeps the two roles apart by shape, so the pair still reads clearly at small sizes.
Corinthia is the accent: use it sparingly, for a word or a detail, never a paragraph.
Syne + Libre Bodoni + Pinyon Script
Set the headline in Syne, a sans serif by Bonjour Monde and Lucas Descroix and George Triantafyllakos, and the text under it in Libre Bodoni, a serif by Pablo Impallari and Rodrigo Fuenzalida.
A sans serif over a serif keeps the two roles apart by shape, so the pair still reads clearly at small sizes.
Pinyon Script is the accent: use it sparingly, for a word or a detail, never a paragraph.
Chango + Abril Fatface + Rock Salt
Set the headline in Chango, a display by Fontstage, and the text under it in Abril Fatface, a display by TypeTogether.
Both are displays, so the contrast has to come from size and weight: keep the headline big and the text at a comfortable reading size.
Rock Salt is the accent: use it sparingly, for a word or a detail, never a paragraph.
Titan One + Prata + Reenie Beanie
Set the headline in Titan One, a display by Rodrigo Fuenzalida, and the text under it in Prata, a serif by Cyreal.
A display over a serif keeps the two roles apart by shape, so the pair still reads clearly at small sizes.
Reenie Beanie is the accent: use it sparingly, for a word or a detail, never a paragraph.
