Libre Baskerville + Source Sans 3 font pairing

A fresh perspective.

Good typography is invisible until it isn’t. This preview shows Libre Baskerville for headings and Source Sans 3 for body text.

Why they work together

Libre Baskerville was optimised for on-screen reading with a large x-height, so it holds up even at modest heading sizes. Source Sans 3 is a humanist sans with excellent legibility, giving articles a trustworthy, bookish feel.

How to use this pairing

Libre Baskerville is wide; keep line lengths shorter for headings. Use Source Sans 3 at 17–18px with a 1.6 line-height for long reads.
