Frequently asked questions

How many fonts does a design need?

+

Usually two: a heading font with character and a calm font for body text. More fonts quickly make a presence feel restless.

How do I find a matching font pair?

+

Choose a style above, such as Classic, Modern or Editorial. The preview shows heading and body text together, so you can see immediately whether the font pairing works.

Can I use the Google Fonts commercially?

+

The fonts shown here come from Google Fonts. They are under free licences, usually the SIL Open Font License, and may be used commercially for logo, website and print.

Why does a serif work well with a sans?

+

The difference in shape and character clearly separates heading and text. Both fonts should have a similar density and size so that the overall picture feels harmonious.

How do I apply a font pair to my website?

+

Copy the CSS rules below the preview. The fonts are loaded via Google Fonts for this. In Grafikbuddy you can also store your font pair in the brand kit.

Is the font pair finder suitable for a house font and brand font?

+

Yes. The font pair finder is a good starting point for your house font. Then adjust the choice to your target group and brand style.
