I would like to use Merriweather as my serif font but the default font size is too large and it makes the document look out of balance.
How can I make Merriweather smaller so that it fits better with other fonts? I don't want to scale all fonts (using relscale
) because this would still not balance the fonts. If I make the sans-serif font larger, the footnotes and image captions are still bad.
Below is the sample document I'm using.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
% comment out this line to remove Merriweather
\usepackage{merriweather}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat*{\section}{\bfseries\Large\sffamily}
\titleformat*{\subsection}{\bfseries\large\sffamily}
\titleformat*{\subsubsection}{\bfseries\normalsize\sffamily}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{microtype}
\title{Fonts for \LaTeX}
