Rosewood and Chaparral together

v-six

Hi people with more typographic tact than me (meaning basically everyone here). What do you think about Rosewood and Chaparral used in conjunction?

Don’t mind the kerning.. had to do it in Photoshop. I’d like to work with the Rosewood serifs more, even make a few ligatures (e.g. the lower adjacent ligatures of the ’IS’ in DISCO). Also, do you find the leading I chose annoying at all? I feel like there are both good and bad things happening where the letters touch...

Thanks for any constructive input!

James, that doesn’t prevent someone from using it in a different way does it?
