Lora + Roboto
Grumpy wizards make toxic brew
A standfirst set in Roboto, one size up — where a pairing starts earning trust.

Why it works
Lora's calligraphic curves make headings feel handmade and approachable, and Roboto — familiar from a billion Android screens — keeps the supporting text unobtrusive and dependable. Because both faces have generous, open forms, the page feels cohesive rather than contrasty, suiting shops and blogs that want to feel human.
