Why it works

A textbook high-contrast pairing: Playfair's dramatic thick-and-thin headlines set a refined, editorial tone while Inter's tall x-height keeps paragraphs effortless to read on screens. Because the two faces sit far apart in style, the hierarchy is unmistakable at a glance — headlines feel like headlines, body text stays invisible in the best way.
