Serif typeface to pair with Burbank?

Nutmeg

I’m working on the layout for a children’s book. The illustrations have a 1950’s animated feel (think Disney). I’ve decided on Burbank from House Industries for the cover, etc., but need a legible serif (slab serif, perhaps?) for the body text.

Any suggestions??

Hi Megan,

slab serif, perhaps?

Silica?

Good suggestions – Thanks for your help!

Paperback

IT Golden Type and Linotype Conrad too seemed like good options.
