Preview Google Font pairings for headings and body text. Test contrast and scale directly in the browser, then copy the generated HTML <link> tags and CSS rules to embed the pair in a project.
The preview uses the live fonts from Google’s CDN. You can click into the text to type your own copy, adjust the base font size to test scalability, and toggle a dark background to check contrast.
Contrast and pairing
When combining typefaces, aim for contrast rather than slight differences. A reliable approach is mixing categories. For example, pair a serif heading font (like Merriweather or Lora) with a sans-serif body font (like Inter or Open Sans).
When using sans-serif for both, ensure they have distinct weights or structures. A heavy, geometric sans-serif for headings contrasts well with a neutral, highly readable sans-serif for paragraphs.
Embedding the fonts
The embed code requests both the regular (400) and bold (700) weights from the Google Fonts API. Place the <link> tags inside the <head> of your HTML document, and apply the CSS rules to your stylesheet.
