San-serif to complement Clarendon

lexspicoli21 Oct 2010

Hello! I'm a long-time lurker and this is my first posting. I have been assigned a re-design of a website and I've decided to use Clarendon for the site's branding. What I am looking for is a clean, complementary sans-serif font to pair with it, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions? The site is for a News professional.

Thank you so much!

I first though of Alright Sans.

But you should probably clarify if you're talking about how the sans would be used (body text, menus, headings?) and how you're going to deploy the font (as graphics, as one or another form of web type?).

There is no "i" in complementary.

All Grotesques and Grotesks should work well.

And I second Eliason's pick of Alright Sans.

Thank you for your responses. The font would be used as graphics (Subheadings, menu items). I think Alright work, but I am now torn between that and Antenna. Choices choices!
