Oswald + Open Sans font pairing

A fresh perspective.

Good typography is invisible until it isn’t. This preview shows Oswald for headings and Open Sans for body text.

Why they work together

Oswald's condensed gothic letterforms pack impact into narrow spaces, making it perfect for punchy headlines. Open Sans is neutral and highly readable, so it never competes with the headline.

How to use this pairing

Use Oswald at 500–600 in uppercase for headlines and banners. Open Sans at 400 for body with a 1.6 line-height.
