Why it works
Red Hat Display's squared geometric letterforms give headings an engineered, open-source confidence, while Inter plays its familiar role as the neutral system voice for UI and body copy. Both are low-contrast and upright, so they share a rhythm, but Red Hat's distinctive single-story a and cut curves add just enough character to keep the headline from disappearing into the paragraph.
