Basic Understanding
Before beginning with the process of choosing the best font combinations, it is essential to understand the basics.
A typeface is made of similar designs. There are many fonts within a single typeface. Mainly, there are four types of typefaces that are sans serif, sans, script, and decorative—the first two being the most preferable.
Readability
You are writing because you want people to be able to read it. However, it often happens that certain texts are too hard to read because of their styles. In this case, the audience moves away.
Overly decorative texts are very hard to read outside large headers. If you want 100% readability, you should go for sans or sans serif. The best fonts for body texts are Vision, PT sans, Roman Serif, Open Sans, and Bifocals Grotesk. The best fonts for headings are Cafe and Brewery, Headline; Geizer; Stellar; Arcadia, and Audrey. You can find hundreds of other options on the internet.
