Frequently Asked Questions

What is font pairing?

Font pairing is the practice of selecting two or more complementary typefaces to use together in a design. A good font pair typically combines a distinctive heading font with a highly readable body font, creating visual hierarchy and harmony. Common strategies include pairing a serif heading with a sans-serif body, or mixing geometric and humanist sans-serif fonts.

How do I choose the right font pairing?

Look for contrast with harmony: pair fonts that are different enough to create visual interest (e.g., serif + sans-serif) but share similar proportions or mood. Use the curated pairings as a starting point, then adjust weights and preview with your actual content. The 'Randomize Pairing' button can help you discover unexpected combinations.

Do I need a Google Fonts API key?

No. This tool loads fonts directly via the Google Fonts CSS API, which does not require an API key. The generated embed code (both @import and link tag options) also works without any API key - just paste it into your project.

What font weights are available?

Each font supports different weights. Common weights include 400 (Regular), 500 (Medium), 600 (Semi-Bold), and 700 (Bold). The weight selector automatically shows only the weights available for each font. Headings typically use heavier weights (600-700) while body text uses regular weight (400).

Can I use these fonts for free?

Yes. All fonts in this tool are from Google Fonts, which are free and open-source. You can use them in personal and commercial projects without any licensing fees or attribution requirements.

What is a good font pairing for a website heading and body text?

A reliable approach is to pair a distinctive serif heading with a clean sans-serif body, for example a high-contrast serif like Playfair Display for headings with a workhorse sans-serif for paragraphs. The heading carries personality while the body stays highly readable at small sizes. Browse the curated pairings here and preview them with your own text before deciding.

How many fonts should I use on a single site?

Stick to two for most projects, one for headings and one for body text. More than two typefaces tends to create visual noise and slows the page down with extra font files. If you need a third style, vary the weight or size of an existing font instead of adding a new family.

How do I add the font pairing to my project?

Pick your heading and body fonts, then copy the generated CSS @import rule or the HTML link tag. Paste the link tag in the head of your HTML, or the @import at the top of your stylesheet, then set the font-family on your heading and body selectors to match.
