Pairing a serif font with Proxima Nova

marlomarizza24 Jan 2011

Hi, I am a relatively new designer given the monstrous task of creating branding guidelines for my company. We're very much stuck with Proxima Nova as our main font (it is used in Logo specifically). Which I don't mind - but I need help pairing a complementary serif font - specifically for use as a body copy (such as paragraphs in employee handbooks, press releases - printed materials).

Any suggestions? (examples would be nice too)

Suggestions for a pairing serif face really depend on what the rest of your brand looks like / what you're trying to communicate about your company.

You could have had it very much worse! ;-)

As for suggestion pairs, what Penn rightly points out, and also which and how many features you need (weights, styles, language coverage, small caps, old style figures, etc.).
