Can&#8217;t you just select two fonts and call it a day for your website? Okay, you may, but in your best interest, it may not be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Choosing well-balanced fonts will help your page flow nicely, look aesthetically pleasing, and make sure your website or graphic looks professional and readable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Choosing any two fonts on a whim, however, or just because you like them all separately, doesn&#8217;t mean they work together well \u2014 and if they don&#8217;t work together well, your project may be suffering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.saadashraf.net\/\">Dubai Web Designer<\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0looks at some of the best font pairings in this blog that work together to create a fantastic website design, social media templates, presentations, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><u><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The importance of font-pairing:<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Why are the fonts in your project so critical to look great together?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It&#8217;s easy. If fonts don&#8217;t jive, audiences find it hard to read the content quickly, and they may not read it at all when they struggle to read the content or feel overwhelmed by competing fonts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Similar to the color scheme, selecting the right font pairings is a must to keep users engaged with your project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Also, selecting a font that allows your heading to stand out so that users know exactly what they are reading is crucial. The heading is flexible in that you can use a font that&#8217;s a bit more off-the-wall than a font you&#8217;d choose to copy your body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On the other hand, as it will be the bulk of your page, your body copy should use a font that is easy for users to read.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When all is said and done, one unified template should be created by the heading, the subtitle, and the body copy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong><u><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Different kind of fonts:<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00b7 <\/span><strong><u><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Serif:\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Serif fonts refer to the form at the end of each letter stroke that has small feet. The feet are also sometimes called embellishments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00b7 <\/span><strong><u><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sans Serif:<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sans serif means &#8220;without serif,&#8221; indicating that at the end of each stroke this style has no feet or embellishments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00b7 <\/span><strong><u><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Script:<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Script fonts are often called a more sophisticated type of font, and each letter connects to the next one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00b7 <\/span><strong><u><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Decorative:\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This style is reserved for signage and headlines but is rarely professional, the most diverse group of fonts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong><u><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tips for choosing pleasing font pairing:<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here are some tips suggested by<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.saadashraf.net\/\">Freelance Web Designer Dubai<\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0to keep in mind when choosing fonts on a website that are similar to each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">1)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><u><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Think Contrasting:<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You want to contrast the font styles that you choose, but not compete with each other. For example, on the same page, two types of decorative styles should compete with each other instead of contrasting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Alternatively, in addition to the serif font, you can choose one decorative or script font.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The selection of a sans serif font and a serif font is another common complementary pairing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">One of the most important parts of the choice of complimentary, contrasting font pairs is to make sure the two fonts are not too similar. Select two fonts that are sufficiently different that viewers can tell.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><u><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A Big font-family:<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The hard work of hierarchy and matching is essentially done for you when you find a font family that you like. This is great because you will know that these fonts are already working well together because they are part of the same family. All you have to do is choose how in your project you want to arrange them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><br \/>\n3)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><u><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Consider kerning:<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In a typed-out word, the space between letters is called kerning. Do not be afraid to play with the kerning of certain fonts. script letters to make a cool layout are intended to communicate with each other and create a sense of fluidity, fonts in script families would not fit well with kerning. Also, read\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saadashraf.net\/blog\/dont-make-people-think-just-improve-website-usability\/\">Don\u2019t make people think; just improve website usability<\/a>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But with kerning, an all-caps, sans serif font can look great.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Wrapping up!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Consumers can say with this hierarchy that data is the most important, the second most important, and finally the specifics without even reading a word of the material.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The development of hierarchy with your fonts is, therefore, an even better way to achieve a successful layout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong><u><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Let\u2019s Get in Touch:<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Hire me to help you get your font-pairing right.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ah, font pairings\u2014 the two-word expression to a web designer is thrilling, but likely not so much to an average Joe.
