Helvetica sub heads with Garamond body copy. This debate is getting pretty heated in our studio. I personally feel they work well together or are the aesthetics of each too different to work in harmony?
>work in harmony
Both (btw. which of those Garamonds?) differ in x-height, construction principles of the glyphs, dynamic vs. static appearance, etc. To prove that try to put them together in one line of text and look at the result – it doesn't feel right in my opinion. But if there is enough space between them, difference in size and weight, etc. then the combination could work.
