Using the fonts

Keep the heading font for titles and short features. Use the body font for paragraphs, navigation, and buttons. Start body text at 18px with comfortable line spacing, and compare longer passages on both a phone and a desktop. The display styles work best in short headings.

All pairings use the same Pine & Paper colors to keep the focus on typography. This comparison page loads every font; a finished site would only need the selected pairing.
