Why it works
Albert Sans brings a clean, slightly retro geometric headline, and Lora answers with a brushed, moderate-contrast serif that reads warm and literary in body text. The geometric-sans-over-humanist-serif contrast is a dependable one: the heading feels crisp and current, the paragraph feels considered and readable, and neither fights the other for the reader's attention.
