Hello, I would like to use ITC Kabel as a headline typeface for a book design.
Could anyone please recommend a pairing for the body text? I am open to using both serifs and sans serifs.
Thank you very much in advance!

The first US edition of George Orwell’s Animal Farm paired Kabel with Electra (to good effect, I think):

Some other suggestion for serifs in a similar vein:

I’ve also seen Kabel paired with Franklin Gothic more than once, but in those instances Kabel was the text face, and Franklin Gothic the headline:

I’m sure other posters can recommend more....
