serif + sans-serif

Playfair Display + Inter Font Pairing

Why These Fonts Work Together

Playfair Display brings an editorial, high-contrast serif voice to headlines, while Inter keeps body copy quietly modern and effortlessly readable. The pairing works because the ornate letterforms never fight the UI text — the contrast creates hierarchy at a glance. Use it for landing pages and brand sites that want a cultured, contemporary feel.

  • A serif display face leads the page and a sans-serif body face carries the reading — the shape contrast draws the eye to headlines first.
  • Heading weights of 600–800 vs. body weights of 400–500 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.
