WHY IT WORKS
Structure meets readability

Lora is a contemporary serif with calligraphic roots and moderate contrast, and that hand-drawn warmth is a natural counterweight to Roboto's mechanical neutrality. Roboto leads as clean headings, Lora carries the body with a little crafted character, and the close x-heights keep sizing easy.

Where it shines

Editorial sites, design and lifestyle brands, longer reads that want a body voice with some warmth.

Where to be careful

Lora's contrast is gentle; on low-res screens at small sizes, bump body weight to Medium to hold legibility.
