With so many amazing fonts, however, it can be a tad overwhelming to know which one to pick, let alone if you’re looking for font pairings, and it becomes even more troublesome if you’re looking for sans and sans serif pairing.

That’s why we’re here to offer a helping hand with some of the best sans/sans serif pairings of 2024 (so far, that is). Even if it’s just a jumping-off point, we hope to offer you some fresh typographic takes and open your font book to some of the latest and greatest that this year has produced.

PP Editorial Old and PP Nikkei Pacific

Quite a heavenly typographic pair, we must say. Editorial Old offers an ever-alluring, vintage aesthetic combined with super-punchy, contemporary clarity – with its softer curves and relaxed connections; it creates a charming foundation for Nikkei Pacific ’s chunky letterforms to contrast with. A historical-inspired, modern sans serif, Nikkei Pacific’s clean lines and thoughtful proportions provide a crisp counter-balance to Editorial Old’s distinctive vibe, making this duo ideal for editorial projects that demand both personality and clarity.

PP Editorial New and PP Editorial Sans

If you’re looking for the optimum brand synergy, then our work here is done. Look no further, weary traveller, than Editorial New and PP Editorial Sans . Editorial New features elegant serifs and narrow proportions that make it a favourite for just about anyone. In contrast, Editorial Sans brings a sleek, modern-meets-retro approach, maintaining the exact proportions and metrics as its serif counterpart, making it the perfect creative counterpart for seamless, effortless design..

PP Nikkei Maru and OT Jubilee

Isn’t Nikkei Maru such a whimsical, wonderful, charming font? It just works everywhere! Especially in a delightful pairings with OT Jubilee .With its rounded forms and soft edges, Nikkei Maru offers a friendly, approachable tone, whilst Jubilee’s blends of classic – yet subversive – British elegance offers not only an aesthetic counterpart but a versatile variety of weights and styles. Together, they create a balance of playfulness and sophistication.

PP Right Serif Mono and PP Neue Montreal

For an über contemporary twist, consider pairing PP Right Serif Mono with PP Neue Montreal. Right Serif Mono, through its solid monospaced structure and oddities of form, provides a unique personality that feels both warm and equally technical. In contrast, Neue Montreal offers a versatile Grotesque style that embodies modernity and clarity (and not to mention an ineffable timelessness). Both masters of legibility and style, the clean lines of Neue Montreal beautifully complement the structured aesthetic of Right Serif Mono.

PP Hatton and PP Air

Historical. Elegant. Minimalist. Bringing together Hatton and Air creates an undeniably sleek font duo that embodies a distinct typographic ambience – both soft and hard. With its refined serif structure and nods to London’s Hatton Garden’s district typography (and newly designed Italics, no less), Hatton creates a sense of tradition and sophistication. Meanwhile, Air’s clean forms offer a breath of fresh air and aesthetic space, perfect for creative applications that want to convey a sense of heritage or storytelling while embracing modern aesthetics.

PP Pangaia and PP Neue Montreal Mono

PP Pangaia ’s letterforms capture a powerful sense of organic movement and, ultimately, beauty – inspired by the unpredictable, candid forms found in nature. On the other hand, and Neue Montreal Mono is profoundly engineered, offering clean, functional forms that scream modernity. Together, they make a truly unlikely yet incredibly striking pair – acutely balancing the expressive curves of Pangaia with the straightforward utility of Neue Montreal Mono.
