Classic font pairings

Classic pairings draw on centuries of book and print tradition: old-style and transitional serifs, humanist proportions, and combinations that would look at home on paper. They signal trust, permanence and craft.

Used straight, they suit institutions, publications and portfolios that want gravitas; paired against a modern grotesque they read as contemporary with roots. Every combination here keeps the historical voice legible on screens, not just in print.
