Geologica + Onest
Grumpy wizards make toxic brew

Why it works
Geologica's dense, industrial grotesque gives headings an engineered heft, and Onest keeps the body in a lighter, calmer neo-grotesque that reads without strain. The two share a low-contrast, upright construction, so the pairing stays unified, while Geologica's extra density and squared curves clearly separate the structural heading from the quiet running text.
