01. Freight Sans and Freight Text
An example of a superfamily, GarageFonts' Freight is available in a large range of weights and styles, including Sans, Text, Display and Micro versions - giving you a versatile typographic toolkit.
02. Helvetica Neue and Garamond
A famously harmonious duo, with the ubiquitous Neo-Grotesque sans serif for headlines, and the classic Old Style serif for text. Mix up weights and sizes between the two neutral families to establish hierarchy.
03. Caslon and Myriad
Another classic pairing, this time between an 18th century Old Style serif and a late-20th century Humanist sans serif. Myriad is famously used in Apple's corporate communication, as well as in the Rolls Royce logo.
04. Fontin and Fontin Sans
Our second superfamily, Fontin was designed by Dutch foundryexljbris specifically to be used at small sizes, with a loose spacing and tall x-height. Fontin Sans is designed as an ideal partner for it.
05. Minion and Poppl-Laudatio
An Old Style serif typeface with personality, Minion was designed in 1990 but inspired by late Renaissance era type. Although technically a sans serif, Poppl-Laudatio's subtle flared details bring out its pronounced serifs.
06. Jenson and Lithos
Designed in the late '90s, Jenson draws on 15th century Humanist type styles, and is excellent for setting large passages of body copy. Lithos is an all-caps Glyphic sans serif inspired by Ancient Greek type: somehow, they work.
07. Liberation Serif and Liberation Sans
Another superfamily, which also includes Sans Narrow and Mono variations, Liberation was intended as an open-source substitute for many commonly used Windows fonts, such as Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New.
08. Trade Gothic Bold and Sabon
Particular effective when Trade Gothic is used in its Bold weight for headlines, to set off Jan Tschichold's classic Old Style serif face for text. Both typefaces are highly readable, with a tall x-height, and combine well.
09. Clarendon Bold and New Baskerville
Used in its Bold weight, the mid-19th century slab serif Clarendon has a powerful, highly distinctive presence with which the more neutral Transitional serif New Baskerville pairs well, giving it room to breathe.
10. Scala and Scala Sans
FontFont's superfamily began with the serif version in 1990, followed in '92 by its sans serif companion. With small caps, various ligatures and old-style figures, it's hugely versatile and widely used in publishing.
11. Rockwell Bold and Bembo
One of the classic slab serifs, Rockwell was designed in the 1930s and has a huge amount of personality and attention-grabbing potential when used bold. The much more conservative serif Bembo is neutral but versatile.
12. Myriad Black and Minion
Myriad and Minion have already cropped up in different pairings earlier in the list, but this combination of the shouty ultra-bold Black version of the former and the text weight of the latter achieves clear hierarchy.
13. Abril Display and Abril Text
Designed for intensive editorial use, the Abril superfamily comes in a vast range of styles, including Fatface, Extra Bold and more. Its titling weights have a strong thick/thin contrast; text varieties are subtler.
14. Souvenir and Futura Bold
Mixing two strong typographic personalities rarely works, as they end up fighting. Souvenir is softer and more playful than many of its Old Style serif counterparts, while Futura Bold is quirky without being too dominant.
15. Dax Bold and Caslon
One of the most versatile Old Style serifs, Caslon also appears on this list at number 3. Its neutrality lets the informal, modern Dax Bold deliver strong personality for a headline without competing for attention.
16. Aviano and Aviano Sans
Only available in all-caps varieties, Aviano has sharp, edgy serifs that given it a distinctive personality - while its sans serif version is smoother. They combine well to create hierarchy between two titling faces.
17. Antique Olive Bold and Chaparral
Initially designed as an alternative to Helvetica and Univers, Antique Olive has a very tall x-height with short ascenders and descenders that make it highly distinctive in display form. Chaparral is a modern feeling but much more neutral slab serif.
18. TheSerif and TheSans
The rather straightforward naming strategy within LucasFonts’ Thesis typeface superfamily makes the foundry's intentions pretty clear: these are totally complementary, and each comes with its own sub-varieties.
19. Renault Light and Apex-New
An ideal combination for formal corporate use: both Renault and Apex-New have a very similar radio of x-height to body height for an effortless partnership between contemporary sans serif and authoritative serif.
20. Calluna and Calluna Sans
Another exljbris creation, Calluna was born out of an experiment with adding slab serifs to Museo, giving designer Jos Buivenga the idea of 'serifs with direction'. The result is a highly distinctive text face that later spawned a sans serif companion.
