Question 1

How are pairings curated?

Accepted Answer

We hand-pick pairings using design heuristics — contrast in weight, similar x-height, complementary moods. Each pair is tested against headline + body block previews.

Question 2

Are the fonts free to use commercially?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every font is from Google Fonts, licensed under the SIL Open Font License or similar permissive licenses.

Question 3

Can I copy the CSS for a pair?

Accepted Answer

Yes. One click copies the @import and font-family declarations ready to drop into any project.

Question 4

Does it support variable fonts?

Accepted Answer

Yes — variable axes appear as live sliders so you can preview weight, slant, and width before exporting.

Question 5

Can I preview my own headline/body text?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The preview block accepts any text, and you can save preview text per pair.

Question 6

How do I pick a pair for a specific mood?

Accepted Answer

Filter by category — editorial, tech, playful, luxury, retro, minimal. We surface pairings that designers consistently rate highly for that mood.

Question 7

Does the tool work offline?

Accepted Answer

The preview UI does. Live font loading requires a network connection on first use; pairs you have viewed cache for offline reference.

Question 8

Can I save favorite pairings?

Accepted Answer

Anonymous favorites stay in local storage. Sign in to sync favorites across devices.
