Pairing tips (short)

  • Decorative for short — readable for long: use cursive for headings, not paragraphs.
  • Fallbacks matter: always list a sensible fallback family (serif, sans-serif, or system stack).
  • Contrast & size: increase size for display fonts and ensure color contrast for legibility.
  • Test languages: make sure your chosen font supports diacritics or provide fallback for other scripts.
