Choosing the right font combination can elevate your design from good to great. Here are practical tips for creating harmonious typography.

Basic Pairing Rules

Contrast is key - pair serif with sans-serif fonts. Similar fonts often compete rather than complement each other.

Safe Combinations

  • Helvetica + Times New Roman
  • Open Sans + Playfair Display
  • Roboto + Merriweather
Less is more when it comes to font selection. Stick to 2-3 fonts maximum per project.

Always test your font combinations at different sizes and weights before finalizing.
