Fonts that work as a pair
Most designs use two fonts — one for headings, one for body text — and finding two that complement each other rather than clash is a real skill. This lets you preview font pairings together, so you can see how a heading and body combination actually looks before committing to it.

The principles of good pairing
Good font pairing usually rests on contrast with harmony: the two fonts should be different enough to create a clear distinction between heading and body — often a characterful display font paired with a clean, readable one — but share enough feeling to belong together. The classic reliable approach is pairing a serif with a sans-serif, which gives contrast while each does its job. The commonest mistakes are using two fonts so similar they look like a mistake, or two so different they fight. Above all the body font must be highly readable, since it carries the bulk of the text. Seeing a pairing in context is what tells you whether the two fonts get along.
