Why it works
Caveat reads like margin notes — narrow, quick, slightly irregular — and at semibold it holds up as a heading rather than decoration. Lora grounds it: a contemporary serif with brushed, calligraphic roots, so its curves share a pen-drawn ancestry with the script above while its even color and sturdy serifs make long text effortless. The pairing suits personal blogs, recipe sites and wedding pages that want handwritten intimacy without asking readers to decode a script paragraph.
