Font Pairing Tips

  • Pair a serif heading with a sans-serif body (or vice versa) to create clear visual contrast.
  • Keep heading fonts expressive and body fonts highly readable — never sacrifice legibility.
  • A line height of 1.5–1.7 works best for body text; tighter (1.1–1.3) suits large display headings.
  • Aim for a 3:1 to 5:1 size ratio between headings and body text for strong visual hierarchy.
  • Stick to two fonts maximum per project — more than two usually creates visual noise.
  • Test your pair with your actual content, not just demo text, before committing.
