Rules for pairing fonts
- Use two typefaces at most: one for headings, one for body text.
- Pair contrast with harmony — a serif heading with a clean sans-serif body is a classic for a reason.
- Check readability at small sizes on mobile.
- Confirm the license allows commercial use. Google Fonts are released under open licenses such as the SIL Open Font License.
