Pairs well with

  • Body

    PT Sans

    Humanist text under geometric slab headings: PT Sans's construction answers Arvo's geometry instead of echoing it, and the slabs remain the one distinctive voice on the page.

BPOZZ Design Note

Its figures are proportional and the font offers no tabular alternative, so numbers in columns will not line up. Keep tables in a face with tabular figures and give Arvo the headings, where its wide, even slabs have room.
