Why it works

DM Serif Display exists only for big, sharp headlines, and it shows — hero text looks instantly premium. Source Sans 3 was drawn for interfaces, so it recedes into perfectly plain readability underneath. One decorative voice, one silent one: the safest way to make a landing page look designed rather than templated.
