How are headline and body fonts used together?
Each of these five pairings includes a headline face that should be used at large sizes and a body face with a large x-height, low contrast and included italics. I also write about why these typefaces work well together, so it is more than just a collection of pretty fonts.
Which is the best font for body text?
Rubik is far from a classic book face with its heavyset geometric skeleton and rounded corners, but it actually reads fairly well for body text—the x-height is large, the letterforms render clearly and it includes normal, italic, bold and bold italic styles. I wouldn’t set a book with it, but it can work for short blocks of text on the web.
Are there any font combinations that work together?
Any font combinations will work well together, so by keeping it in the family, you cannot go wrong. As with colours, typefaces will often conflict if they are too similar (imagine pairing hot pink with dark red).
Which is the best description of body text?
Body text refers to the majority of text in a composition. Its job is to be steady so that other things – like wayfinding signals and eye-catching headings – can stand out. Body text is most successful when it is unobtrusive, yet its tone can inspire the expressive qualities of other elements and the composition as a whole.
