Great font pairings are essential to great design! Here are some basic rules to create great font pairings:
Example: Combining serif with sans serif is a well known combination. A strong superfamily includes both serif and sans serif variations of the same font (e.g. Lucida and Lucida Sans).
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;
}Below, we have shown some popular font pairings that will suit many brands and contexts.
