I like this pairing- it's kind of fun! Here we have the same family (Museo), pairing up the slab-serif font along with the sans-serif font. This slab-serif is great for title elements, and the sans-serif is friendly and easy-going. I get this pairing from Typekit, though, and the font (page) weight seems a little heavier than I'd like. This would be a good pair for simple, clean designs that have a lot of space, and are otherwise flat; the slab-serif lends something interesting to what might be an otherwise boring design. I think the slab-serif might also look interesting if given an embossed look. Something to try!
This is my go-to default font these days. It's easy to read, enjoyable to look at, and you can download it to your computer and use it just as easily for things like...oh, making Microsoft Outlook more bearable. It's a fantastic sans-serif humanist font, and one that I will be enjoying for many more years to come! I don't like it for small title elements or all-caps though; I think it looks too narrow. So here I've paired it up with the all famous Proxima Nova (or try Open Sans if you're looking for a free imposter!) for all-caps/h3 type elements.

This combination is more typical for web/on-screen use:
I wonder what would happen if I added in a navbar using Montserrat or Proxima Nova? Let's try it and see.
Adonis for the serif headers, Proxima Nova for the all-caps elements, and Source Sans Pro for the body. Now this is a nice combination. The kind you take home to meet your mom. I think we could really make this one look both classic and classy. It has great readability, resulting in a better user experience, and delivers both the classic pairing of a serif and sans-serif, and the modern look that users now expect.
