Montserrat and Merriweather

Best for: blog posts, how-to guides and printed handouts. Merriweather was designed as a text face that is pleasant to read on screens, with a very large x-height, sturdy serifs and open forms, so long paragraphs hold up on a phone or a tired office printer. Montserrat, which Julieta Ulanovsky based on old posters and signs in the Montserrat neighborhood of Buenos Aires, gives headings a wide, geometric confidence that sets off Merriweather's slightly condensed letters. If you only learn one serif and sans combination, this is a dependable place to start.
