Why it works

Both of these faces were designed for news environments — Archivo as a grotesque for print and digital publications, PT Serif as a transitional workhorse for public communication — so together they read like a well-art-directed newspaper. Archivo's squared, high-x-height headlines set a punchy, factual tone, and PT Serif's sturdy triangular serifs carry long columns without fatigue. Strong hierarchy, zero frivolity: ideal for editorial and analysis-heavy blogs.
