Why it works
Montserrat's wide geometric capitals give headings a clean, contemporary confidence, and Lora answers with a warm, slightly calligraphic body voice that keeps long reads comfortable. The sans-over-serif inversion feels fresher than the classic serif-headline formula and suits personal sites and lifestyle blogs especially well.
