3 Easy Tips on How to Pair Fonts:

1. Combine fonts from very different families.


Go for a strong contrast between the typefaces. My golden rule is to choose fonts, typically up to two, that are VERY different. The the-two-fonts-are-not-quite-the-same principle doesn’t work well. Go beyond it and combine typefaces from completely different families of styles: handwritten vs industrial, serif vs sans serif, Modern vs Oldstyle, or script vs grunge. The greater the contrast the greater the power of the two fonts when combined. So, once you choose the two fonts and lay them out, take a second look and push the contrast a little further by changing the fonts’ size or tweaking the color. Contrast is contrast; it should be apparent to justify the pairing of the opposites.


2. Choose a single type family with a wide range of fonts. 



Choosing a type family with a wide variety of proportions and weights: thin, light, regular, semibold, bold, and extra bold —will give you a safe and relatively easy option to create a cohesive and clean design. A range of fonts within the family not only meet the needs of an entire body copy with headlines and sub-heads, but it also eases the uncertainty of font pairings. It may not deliver that level of sophistication and rhythm to the design job as it would when using very different fonts, but it ensures a strong typographic match through proportional and weight unity of the single font family.

3. Trust your intuition. 



Whatever you call it –– the inner voice, gut feeling, or intuition, trust it. Although it’s difficult to describe, but if it doesn’t feel right and you doubt the font choice you made, find another typeface. Intuition doesn’t negate the basic design principles but rather complements them and encourages a creative person to test out sometimes unconventional ideas, the ones that may work out in the best way possible.
