I have another article of amazing web font pairings as well! Click here to check it out!
Contrast and Collaboration
Graphic designers generally agree that your different fonts should have an element of contrast (i.e. pairing a Sans Serif font with a Serif font) as well as a sense of collaboration-you want your two pieces of type to complement each other and “get along” rather than clash. Things like style, flow, width, kerning, thickness, and more can all be attributes that help two different fonts pair nicely with a healthy amount of contrast and collaboration.Free Fonts Below
These fonts are all available (as of the moment I published this post) for free! There are download links below each font pairing example. Let’s get started!Acknowledgments:
