Why it works

Gabarito's rounded, bulging display weight gives a landing page a warm, confident headline, and Onest's calm neo-grotesque handles the body in a quiet, low-contrast voice. Both faces are soft and low in contrast, so the pairing stays cohesive while the extra weight and roundness of Gabarito clearly marks the heading as the star of the page.
