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.
