Grumpy wizards make toxic brew

Why it works
Lora's brushed, calligraphic curves give headings a literary warmth, and Mulish — deliberately minimal, almost self-effacing — stays out of the way beneath them. The pairing works because the personality is concentrated entirely in the serif: Mulish has so little ornament that Lora's contrast and curves register more strongly than they would over a busier sans. Well suited to writers' sites and studios that want refined without formal.
