Where it works

Libre Baskerville is also a free alternative to…

Baskerville → Pablo Impallari's revival of the 1941 American Type Founders Baskerville, optimized for body text on screens with a taller x-height and wider counters. Achieves ~90% similarity to Monotype Baskerville while keeping the iconic open 'g', sharp b-stroke, and wavy 'Q'.

Pairings

Display + body that work together

A grammar of empty space

The display sets the register; the body follows through. When both halves of a pair pull in the same direction, the design disappears and the words come forward.

Letters that hold their nerve

A pairing is a relationship: one voice speaks first, the other answers, and the contrast between them sets the tone for the whole page.
