Has anyone found a good pairing to go with Proxima Nova. I am working on a film festival and would like to find a serif typeface to use in the body copy.

How about FF Tisa?

For a magazine redesign I paired Proxima Nova with Freight from Joshua Darden. It has a great range of weights and contrasts nicely with the geometric sans.

Can we see, Marc?

These examples are from a 2009 issue of Arrive, Amtrak's onboard magazine. It combines Proxima Nova, Freight, and a little Mousse Script as an accent.

Thanks for the suggestions. Freight might work, it is for a film festival celebrating David Lean's films. Dr. Zhivago, Bridge Over the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia. Film fests name is EPIC. I set EPIC with Proxima Nova.

Then forget Ernestine (and Tisa too) - you need
something more oldschool, like a Fleischmann.
