Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and appealing when displayed. Good typography enhances the reading experience and establishes visual hierarchy. A well-chosen font pairing creates harmony between headings and body text.

Geometric & modern. Great for creative/design brands.
Good font pairings create contrast without conflict. Pair a distinctive display font with a neutral body font. Serif + sans-serif is a classic combination. The key is that the fonts should differ enough to create hierarchy but share enough visual traits (x-height, proportions) to feel cohesive.
Two to three fonts is ideal: one for headings, one for body text, and optionally one for code or special elements. Using more than three fonts creates visual noise and hurts performance (each font file adds to page weight).
For screens, sans-serif fonts are generally more readable at small sizes due to their simpler shapes. However, well-designed serifs (like Georgia, Charter, or Source Serif) work well too. The key is font size, line height, and contrast — not just serif vs sans.
Each font weight adds ~20-50KB to page load. Limit yourself to 2-3 weights per font family. Use font-display: swap to prevent blocking render. Consider variable fonts which pack multiple weights into a single file.
