WHY IT WORKS
Structure meets readability

PT Serif is a sturdy, neutral transitional serif made for comfortable reading, and under a clean Manrope headline it gives the body a calm, classic feel. The modern sans leads, the serif carries readable text, and matched x-heights keep the sizes coherent.

Where it shines

Corporate content, reports and documentation wanting a modern headline over a neutral serif body.

Where to be careful

Both are fairly even — push Manrope weight on the headline so it clearly leads the calm serif body.
