What is font pairing?

Font pairing is the practice of selecting two complementary typefaces — one for headings and one for body text — that work well together. Good pairings create visual hierarchy and readability.

How many fonts should I use on a website?

Most designers recommend 2 fonts — one for headings and one for body. Using more than 3 fonts can make a design feel cluttered. This tool helps you find the perfect pair.

What are Google Fonts?

Google Fonts is a free library of over 1,500 typefaces. They can be loaded via a CSS import URL and used on any website without licensing fees.

What makes a good font pairing?

Good pairings usually combine contrast — a serif heading with a sans-serif body, or a display font with a neutral body. The fonts should share similar proportions while differing in style.

Can I customize font sizes and line height?

Yes. Adjust heading size (18–72px), body size (12–28px), and line height (1.0–2.5) with sliders. The preview updates live so you can see exactly how the combination looks.

Can I adjust font weight and letter spacing?

Yes. You can set heading and body font weights from Light (300) to Extra Bold (800), and fine-tune letter spacing for both heading and body text independently.

Can I use custom sample text?

Yes. Enter your own heading and body text to see exactly how your content will look with the selected font pairing.

A showcase of beautiful typography pairing

Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and appealing when displayed. The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, point sizes, line lengths, line-spacing, and letter-spacing, and adjusting the space between pairs of letters.
