Lora is a contemporary text serif with calligraphic roots — brushed curves meet sturdy drafting, tuned for screens. It carries long-form reading beautifully, which has made it a staple of editorial sites and blogs.
Lora pairs in both directions. As a body face it grounds a modern sans heading with literary warmth; as a heading it lends authority over a clean sans body. Either way the serif/sans contrast does the structural work, so the two faces never blur together.
In the Nodlume catalog, Lora leads the heading in 2 of these 4 pairings and the body in 2 — its partners are Open Sans, Oswald, Pacifico and Source Serif 4. Every combination below previews in the real faces, with the full fallback-safe CSS font stacks.
