FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a good font pairing?

Good font pairings balance contrast and harmony. Typically, pair a decorative or serif font for headings with a clean sans-serif for body text, or combine fonts with different personalities while maintaining readability and visual hierarchy.

Are the font combinations pre-selected or can I create custom pairs?

The tool offers both curated font pairing suggestions based on design principles and the ability to create custom combinations. This gives you proven pairings plus creative freedom to experiment with your own combinations.

How do I test readability with different font pairs?

Use the preview feature with substantial text samples, test at different sizes, and consider your target audience. Good pairings maintain readability while creating visual interest and proper hierarchy between headings and body text.

Can I see how font pairs look at different sizes?

Yes, the tool allows you to adjust both heading and body text sizes to see how the pairing works across different scales. This is crucial for responsive design and ensuring readability across devices.

Should I use more than two fonts in a design?

Generally, limit yourself to 2-3 fonts maximum. Too many fonts create visual chaos and confusion. A common approach is one font for headings, another for body text, and possibly a third for special elements like quotes or captions.
