Why it works

This pairing plays narrow against wide: Bebas Neue's tightly-packed condensed capitals against Montserrat's round, geometric lowercase built from Buenos Aires street lettering. Because both are display-minded urban sans-serifs, the tone stays consistent — confident and graphic — while the dramatic width contrast keeps headline and body from ever blurring together. Keep Montserrat at 400 and give it room; its wide forms want generous measure.
