What is that site that matches fonts? For example matching a sans serif headline font with a serif body copy font. Fonts that work nicely together.
Thanks
Ken

not what the font. fonts in use looks pretty cool.
I remember there was a site that you could type in a font and it would match other fonts to it.

H & FJ have a few nice suggestions on their site... but only of their own fonts of course...

I went to school for knowledge like this

Using typefaces from the same artist/foundry is a great practice for starters. After that, it's nice to use fonts that were drawn around the same time and in the same geographic place as well. If that doesn't help, use your best judgement.

do you have a specific task you‘re asking that question for? maybe we could come up with some suggestions?

when in doubt, always use papyrus/comic sans

when in doubt, always use helvetica with helvetica

@pressplay
Current font used Helvetiva Neue various weights.
I am looking to change the headline font from Helvetica Neue.

^ would need to know a lot more about the project to suggest a headline type because they will define its personality

if you‘re looking for a quiet unobtrusive match of Helvetica with a serif typeface check out Utopia, I found it sits very well with it...
