are you finding it difficult to pair up fonts on your designs or perhaps you're looking for some
fresh and some new font combinations let's Dive Right into this today the first really useful font
or shall I say typeface combo is a neck matched up with elron now you've probably heard of elron
before and thumbs up to those designers who have been rocking this gem already on your designs but
when it comes to pairing elron up with a neck this is how I personally like to use it as a
designer I think a neck is a great Standalone typeface for headings and things like that it
has so many weights and styles on offer and I like to use the standard bold variant of it or
maybe even a neck bolt expanded and then paired up nicely with Aeron as the small body text perhaps
as L Ron regular or medium this combination is a real game changer and it works best on Modern
kind of graphic designs the expanded styles that a neck offers allow for a more experimental kind
of approach approach on our designs let's slap some slabs onto Roboto and bring onto the stage
the font family Roboto slab which is going to be paired up with mulish now this pair this pair is
better for more serious sort of graphic designs and design Solutions and it fits really well into
those kind of informative style designs now I love to use Roboto slab bold or extra bold as
the heading or top level hierarchy typography and then I bring mulish to use for the subheadings or
body text together they look really professional I'm sure you're going to agree some would say a
match made in heaven and this sort of pairing would work really well for certain websites
landing pages posters and infographics mainly ones that are kind of high brow and informative
the next font combination only uses one typeface and that is Laura Laura is such a beautifully
crafted and well thought out serif typeface and like everything today it is free for commercial
use now here's a really great tip to keep in mind when you're using these fonts often when
we look to try and pair up fonts together it's a great idea to stay within a single font family
Laura has a variety of different weights and styles and so we can actually play around with
combinations of these Styles also in thinking of things like size and color now Laura is a Sarah
of typeface so of course you'd expect to use this on more serious designs however another
use could be an aggressive form of irony on the kind of anti-design poster or something like that
now tell me who doesn't like a bit of anti-design now and again next a tried and highly tested
combination of Oswald and open Sans Oswald being so narrow and so dominating would be a great
choice for headings and then open Sans can pick up the slack and fill in the blanks by being the
body text or subheadings this is another great choice for posters and websites simply because
Oswald is just so hard hitting now the next font combination I've been using quite a lot this
year is actually Liberation serif and Liberation Sans serif you heard correctly both a serif and a
Sans serif version of the same typeface this is a really interesting pair because I love Liberation
Sands in bold as a heading or main topography or perhaps a focal point now of course it does depend
on the brief and the project you're working on but I like how strong and how robust it is and it's a
little bit expanded as well but just not too much Liberation serif offers a good and clean italic
style that I think can actually work really well with this of course you can also switch things
around so Liberation serif is the main topography with the sans-serif style forming the backup it's
just a really solid and handy font combination that you should be aware of a sort of hidden
trick or upshot about this pair is that they're going to appear next to each other in your font
book and that's simply because their names are identical of course and so they're just really
easy to locate in a quick instant kaluna is in a similar situation to Liberation and that's where
we have kaluna regular which is a serif typeface and then kaluna Sands kaluna serif is a pretty
epic and a pretty serious typeface and it only comes in one way to style kaluna Sans however
comes in four so there's obviously a lot more scope for experimentation with the Sans serif
option but again of course this pair can work together in the right situation but here's the
real question do you want yet more free fonts if the answer is yes just click that video on
