Font Pairing Guide

Simple rules for combinations that look intentional.

Contrast, Not Conflict

serif + sans

Pair fonts that are clearly different โ€” a serif heading with a sans body is the classic. Two similar-but-different sans fonts often look like a mistake.

Two Is Enough

heading + body

One font for headings and one for text covers almost every design. Use weights and sizes, not more families, for variety.

Body Comes First

readability

Pick a body font that's comfortable at 16โ€“18px for long reading, then find a heading font with personality that suits it.

Match the Mood

tone of voice

Geometric sans feels modern, old-style serifs feel trustworthy, slab serifs feel sturdy, scripts feel personal.

Line Height

1.5 โ€“ 1.7 for body

Body text needs room to breathe. Headlines look better tighter, around 1.1โ€“1.2.

Load Only What You Use

2โ€“3 weights

Every weight is another download. The generated link requests only the weights shown in your preview.
