# Elegant serif + airy geometric — type pairing recipe

## The idea

- A refined, high-contrast garalde gives headings grace and a light geometric sans with wide letter spacing keeps the page airy and modern.

## Use it for

- Weddings and events
- Boutique hotels and restaurants
- Fashion and beauty portfolios

## Avoid it when

- The page is dense with information
- Readers will scan on small, low-quality screens

## The faces

- Headings: Cormorant Garamond, weights 500, 600 (self-hosted from @fontsource/cormorant-garamond)
- Body: Josefin Sans, weights 400, 600 (self-hosted from @fontsource/josefin-sans)

## Scale and rhythm

- Scale: 14px, 16px, 20px, 30px, 44px, 64px
- Line height: 1.1 for headings, 1.7 for body text

## Principles

- Set the serif large; its delicate strokes need size
- Space small geometric labels widely and use uppercase
- Use lots of white space around both faces
- Keep paragraphs short; let headings carry the mood
- Use the serif italic for a single word of emphasis at most
