Typography in Modern Web Design

Great typography is the backbone of minimalist design. This post explores how to choose fonts, establish visual hierarchy, and use whitespace effectively.

Font Pairing

Pair a serif heading font with a sans-serif body font for a classic, readable look. Consider combinations like:

  • Playfair Display + Source Sans Pro
  • Merriweather + Inter

Visual Hierarchy

Use size, weight, and spacing to guide the reader’s eye through your content. A strong hierarchy makes even long-form content feel effortless to read.

Whitespace

Don’t be afraid of empty space. It lets your content breathe and draws attention to what matters most.
