I have a problem with Bodoni, a modern (1798) and Futura, a deco font from the 1920s. I tried them. I still don't think it quite works.
We used Helvetica and Garamond in the magazine I did for years. Good straight forward choices.
Most of the 19 combos listed are great choices. But if you want to see the science behind these choices, check out my opinion on this site:
