How many fonts should I use on a website?

Two is ideal — one for headings and one for body text. Three is the maximum for most projects (heading, body, monospace for code). More than three creates visual noise and slows page load.

What makes a good font pairing?

Clear contrast between the fonts (serif + sans-serif, display + neutral), similar x-heights, and complementary personalities. Good pairings look intentionally different, not accidentally similar.

Where can I find free fonts for web design?
