Hallo,
a customer asked to typeset his book of poems, which contains also some introductory text (several pages). What couple do you suggest?
I know he likes bold sanserif text for the titles.
The poems are long hendecasyllabic verses, Dantean tercet style, so no 'text in a sea of white' effect.

thank you very much
m.
