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.
