- A sans-serif display face leads the page and a serif body face carries the reading — the shape contrast draws the eye to headlines first.
- Heading weights of 700–900 vs. body weights of 400–700 make the hierarchy readable at a glance without extra styling.
- The pairing keeps x-heights and proportions compatible, so switching between heading and body mid-sentence still feels coherent.
