Why it works
Both faces are built on circular geometry, so the page feels like one coherent voice — but Outfit's purer circles and tighter spacing at semibold read as brand typography, while DM Sans's shorter descenders and softer rhythm settle into paragraph duty. Sans-on-sans pairings fail when the faces are almost-but-not-quite alike; here the shared geometry is close enough to harmonize and the roles distinct enough to hold hierarchy.
