Font Preview Tool FAQ

How do I choose between serif and sans-serif fonts for my website?▾
Sans-serif fonts (like Inter, Roboto) are generally preferred for screen readability, especially at small sizes and on low-resolution displays. Serif fonts (like Georgia, Merriweather) work well for long-form editorial content and convey a more traditional, authoritative tone. Test both with your actual content to decide.
What is a good line-height for body text?▾
A line-height of 1.5 to 1.75 is generally ideal for body text readability on the web. Headings can use tighter line-heights (1.1 to 1.3). The optimal value depends on font size, line length, and the specific typeface.
How do web fonts affect page performance?▾
Each font file adds 20-100KB to page load. Use font-display: swap to prevent invisible text during loading. Subset fonts to include only the character sets you need. Prefer WOFF2 format for best compression. Limit yourself to 2-3 font weights to minimize downloads.
