When it comes to web designing which fonts and font combinations you are using plays a major role, in fact, fonts are the most important element in a design.
You can obviously use some premium fonts to make your design stand out from the rest but as you know premium fonts come with its own price tag.
If you are willing to compromise a bit on the fonts design google fonts can be a great option and it has very good alternatives to some premium fonts.

How to choose a good font pairing
There are over 950+ fonts in the google fonts library and you can come up with all sorts of font combinations but there are some rules of thumbs you can follow to make this process easier for you.
Contrasting fonts combination between title and body: This is the most important point to keep in mind, you should have good contrast between your title and body font.
Ideally, your title should be large, bold and impactful and the body text should be light, this creates a great contrast that is pleasing to the eyes and easy to read.
Mix typefaces: Extending the topic of contrast you can use mix typefaces like serif and sans serif to create a nice balance in your page. You can use serif fonts for heading and sans serif fonts for body text or visa versa.
Don’t count out single font: This point may contradict with the previous point but you can use just one font for your entire website just like I’m doing on this site. If you have a simple blog you can use just one font with varying font weights to create the contrast.
Enough talking let’s get right into the font combinations.
