Frequently asked questions about Font Pair Suggester
What makes a good font pairing?
Contrast and harmony are key. Using a serif or display font for headings paired with a sans-serif for body text is generally a winning combination.
Are the recommended fonts free to use?
Yes, all recommended fonts are free open-source fonts from Google Fonts. They can be freely used in both personal and commercial projects.
Do multiple web fonts slow the page down?
The weights weigh more than the families. A single font file usually runs 20-40 KB, so two families with two weights each land around 100 KB, which is fine. Trouble starts when one family is loaded in six different weights. A variable font covers every weight from one file, and setting font-display: swap means the text appears immediately even if the font arrives late.
How should I choose the font for body text?
For body text, readability comes before personality. Look for a generous lowercase height at 16 px, comfortable spacing between letters, and clearly distinct shapes for 1, l and I as well as 0 and O. Paste in a real paragraph of your own copy and read it on both a laptop and a phone; that tells you far more than a sample sentence in a specimen. A distinctive face can carry the headings, but a quiet one in the body is what people keep reading.
How to get the most out of Font Pair Suggester?
Pair a distinctive display face with a plain, workhorse body face — not two personalities.
Contrast in weight (700 vs 400) usually reads better than contrast in typeface.
