Font Pairings
Excellent design is mostly dependent on the choice of fonts.
Font Pairing Rules
To make amazing font pairings, follow these simple guidelines:
1.Complement
Finding complementary font pairs is always a safe bet.
An excellent font mix should complement one another without being overly similar or dissimilar.
2.Use Font Superfamilies
A group of fonts intended to complement one another is called a font superfamily. It is therefore safe to use multiple typefaces within the same superfamily.
For instance, the fonts Lucida Sans, Lucida Serif, Lucida Typewriter Sans, Lucida Typewriter Serif, and Lucida Math are all part of the Lucida superfamily.
3.Contrast is King
Overly similar fonts will frequently clash. When contrasts are used well, though, they highlight each font’s best features.
Example: One common mix is serif and sans serif.
Both serif and sans serif versions of the same typeface (such as Lucida and Lucida Sans) are part of a strong superfamily.
4.Choose Only One Boss
The boss should be one typeface. This creates a hierarchy for your page’s typefaces. You can accomplish this by changing the color, weight, and size.
Example
No doubt “Georgia” is the boss here:
body {
background-color: black;
font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size: 16px;
color: gray;
}
h1 {
font-family: Georgia, serif;
font-size: 60px;
color: white;
}
