โ FAQ โ Font Pairer
What makes a good font pairing?
Good font pairings create contrast and harmony simultaneously. The most reliable approach is pairing a serif font (with decorative strokes) for headings with a sans-serif font (clean, no strokes) for body text. This creates visual contrast while maintaining readability. You can also pair fonts from the same superfamily at different weights (e.g. bold display + regular text version). Avoid pairing fonts that are too similar โ they blend together without creating useful hierarchy.
How do I add Google Fonts to my website?
Add the Google Fonts link tag to your HTML head section, then use the font in CSS. Example: <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Playfair+Display:wght@700&family=Lato&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">. Then in CSS: h1 { font-family: 'Playfair Display', serif; } p { font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif; }. Use display=swap to prevent invisible text during font load.
How many fonts should I use on a website?
Two fonts is the golden rule for most websites โ one for headings and one for body text. Three can work if the third is used sparingly (e.g. a monospace font for code). More than three fonts usually creates visual chaos and slows page load (each Google Font is an additional HTTP request). Stick to 2 fonts and create hierarchy through size, weight, and color instead.
