Serif in Use, together with Sans In Use forms part of an inspirational new two-part resource from Victionary.

In typography, it is not uncommon to see combinations of serif and sans serif typefaces in the same design but it requires it takes a certain amount of skill to combine them in a way that avoids tension or clashes and ensures maximum readability of the text in the design.

From font weights to classifications, each font has its own distinct personality and should be carefully paired to convey the right tone and mood of the design. Featuring a selection of type specimens and their design applications, Serif In Use collates the best combinations of the two typeface categories and serves as a reference point for inspiration-seeking designers and typographers.
