This usually results in a jarring shift in layout, due to sizing discrepancies between the two fonts. To minimize this discrepancy, you can try to match the fallback font and the intended webfont’s x-heights and widths [1]. This tool helps you do exactly that.]]> css fonts typography webdesign https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:a77567164d17/ Font Match 2020-07-06T23:08:35+00:00 https://font-match.netlify.app/ matthewmcvickarA font pairing app that helps you match Google Fonts.

Modern fonts can combine letters into a single ligature, usually for things like fi or fl but you can pick anything so we’ve done it for swears.
