font combinations

When it comes to graphic design, fonts play an integral role. But if you’re not a designer, you might be asking yourself:

“What fonts actually go well together?”

Not to worry! In this post, we’ve laid out 50 perfect font combinations that you can use in your designs today. Of course, all fonts mentioned in this post are included in Snappa.

Now before we begin, let’s go over some quick terminology so you can better follow the different font combinations that we outline in this post.

Serif: Serif typefaces are those in which a small line is attached at the end of the stroke in a letter or symbol.

Sans-Serif: Sans serif typefaces are those that do not contain serifs at the end of strokes. Hence the term “sans-serif.”

Scripts: Script typefaces are those in which many characters have strokes that join them to other letters similar to cursive handwriting.

Here’s a visual representation of the different types of fonts discussed in this post.

Serif example

With that out of the way, let’s move on to the 50 perfect font combinations to kickstart your next design.
