Alegreya and Alegreya Sans

Best for: family cookbooks, zines and booklets with many pages. Alegreya was originally intended for literature, with a lively rhythm that makes long reading easy, and it was chosen as one of 53 Fonts of the Decade at the ATypI Letter2 competition in 2011. Alegreya Sans follows the same humanist proportions and calligraphic feeling, so switching between serif and sans never jars. Use the serif for method and stories, the sans for recipe titles, ingredient lists and captions, and the small caps sibling families when a section opener needs extra polish. A superfamily like this is the easiest way to get contrast without guesswork.
