and the Ugly Fonts: with Style and Sass

Pair Fonts that Complement Each Other

Pairing fonts is an art in itself. Choosing two fonts that complement each other can create a visually appealing and balanced design. When pairing fonts, consider the contrast between the two fonts, the font weight, and the size.

One way to pair fonts is to choose a serif and a sans-serif font. For example, you may use a serif font for the header and a sans-serif font for the body text. Another option is to choose two fonts from the same family, such as a bold and regular version of the same font.

Avoid Overusing Decorative Fonts

Decorative fonts can add personality to a design, but they should be used sparingly. Overusing decorative fonts can make a design look cluttered and unprofessional. Decorative fonts are best used for headlines or titles, rather than body text.

It is also important to choose a decorative font that is appropriate for the design. For example, a cursive font may be appropriate for a nursery sign for a girl, but it may not be suitable for a restroom sign.
