WHY IT WORKS
Structure meets readability

Raleway's elegant geometric headlines over Crimson Pro's classic old-style body pair refined modern display with literary warmth — the stylish sans leads while Crimson Pro carries elegant long-form text, the class contrast holding hierarchy.

Where it shines

Essays, journals and refined editorial wanting an elegant headline over a classic reading body.

Where to be careful

Crimson Pro's x-height runs small — size the body up and head with a heavier Raleway weight.
