Elegant but modern font pairing for Humanist 521 BT for magazine/brochure

charlie1809

Can anyone suggest a better font pairing similar to Humanist 521BT and Baskerville / Baskerville italics to be used in brochures for a high end modern and luxury company but with a more senior customer?

I'm not happy with this as a pairing but cant seem to find a decent alternative that works and represents the brand correctly.

What is Humanist 521BT?

The Bitstream version of Gill Sans.

Another heritage English upper-crust pairing: Monotype Grotesque with Perpetua.

But if you want modern, why is Gill Sans/Baskerville “correct”?
