One of the many ways to have the best blog design, aside from putting pretty pictures and graphics, is through great use of typography. 

Google Fonts is Google’s library of 1000+ licensed web fonts. This is Google’s way of making typography design accessible and open to be explored on the internet. 

In fact, they are open-sourced and free to use. If you have a blog, you can freely and legally incorporate Google Fonts to your blog design ideas through their vast library of web fonts.

Google Fonts can be a resource for other uses than web fonts as well. 

Fortunately, Google made their web fonts free for everyone to download, so you can also incorporate them into your graphic design like social media content, web banner ads, print ads, and many more to establish a consistent brand all throughout.

This makes it a great resource for businesses. 

Google Fonts are perfect for those who don’t have their own fonts and want to explore what fonts work well for their brand.In this article, we’ll be giving you 7 Google Font combinations that will work well for your blog design. 

Combining different font styles with each other does wonder in conveying extra non-verbal messages to your readers. Great use of these combinations will certainly add more depth and character to your blog posts.

While you are here, check out these helpful tips for designing an engaging blog page for your website.

 

1. Yeseva One and Nunito

Derived from the phrase “Yes, Eva,” Yeseva One is a serif display font that was actually intended to exude a  “feminine essence,” according to its designer Jovanny Lemonad. 

This works well with the rounded sans serif font Nunito to give a soft, feminine look that is easy to the eyes of readers.

 

2. Rubik and Poppins

Even though Rubik and Poppins are both sans serif fonts, which makes them a remarkably attractive pair is their contrasting characteristics.

While Rubik was designed to have slightly rounded corners, Poppins is considered by the Indian Type Foundry as a newcomer to the long tradition of geometric sans serif fonts. 

The friendly rounded corners of Rubik plus the intricate geometry of Poppins give a contrasting look that will certainly make your blog design attract different types of readers.

 

3. Bebas Neue and Montserrat

Bebas Neue is a display sans serif font designed by Japanese type designer Ryoichi Tsunekawa. Based on the Bebas font, Bebas Neue was particularly designed to have only upper case letters that make for perfect blog headlines that capture viewers’ attention.

Made quite literally from the other side of the globe, Montserrat is a sans serif font whose design is based on the Montserrat neighborhood of Argentina. Type designer Julieta Ulanovsky was inspired to create this font to preserve the beauty of the neighborhood’s iconic typography.

Marrying the simple yet unique font styles of these two nations will give your blog posts a distinct, reader-friendly appearance.

 

4. Libre Baskerville and Raleway

Based on the American Type Founder's Baskerville from 1941, the Libre Baskerville is a sans serif font that gives blog headlines a classic feel that’s optimized for web text. 

Meanwhile, Raleway is a sans serif font designed by Matt McInerney to exude elegance. 

Hence, the combination of Libre Baskerville and Raleway Google Fonts makes for classic and elegant text suitable for traditional and sophisticated readers.

 

5. Crimson Text and Roboto

According to Google Fonts, the Crimson Text is a serif font inspired by the “tradition of beautiful old-style typefaces.” This contrasts Roboto, a sans serif font that has a notable geometric look akin to the Rubik font, giving it a modernist feel. 

When combined together, Crimson Text and Roboto give a traditional yet modern styled body of the text.

 

6. Lora (s) and Merriweather (s)

We consider this combination an artistic pair because they were both carefully designed, with their own brushed curves and driving serifs, to complement artsy blog sites.

Lora is a serif font said to have calligraphic roots, which is an intricate writing artform in itself. 

This only makes sense to pair it with Merriweather, also a serif font like Lora, because of the subtle details that make it quite artistic as well.

 

7. Playfair Display (s) and Alice (s) 

Playfair Display is a serif font whose design inspiration can be traced back to the Renaissance period of 1700s Europe. It was developed in today’s modern age to keep up with the digital landscape, while still keeping its distinctly historical details intact.

Inspired by Lewis Carrol’s 1865 novel Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland, Alice is also a serif font with a notable heritage like Playfair Display. 

The Playfair Display and Alice fonts were both designed to look good in print. Their dramatic details also make them a truly sassy pair that works well together to give your blog a playful yet classic personality.
