<h1>Open Source Typeface Pairings</h1>
<p>2018-01-25</p>
<p>I always love finding new typeface pairings to use across my personal and client projects, but I find many suggested pairings come with a hefty price tag (rightly so - premium typefaces are normally always worth their cost).</p>
<p>So, I've curated this personal list of 5 exceptionally beautiful typeface pairings that will cost you absolutely <i>nothing</i>. Open source FTW.</p>
<h2>ET-Book &amp; Gill Sans</h2>
<p>Download: <a href="https://github.com/edwardtufte/et-book">ET Book</a>, <a href="https://www.wfonts.com/font/gill-sans-std">Gill Sans</a></p>
<p><figure>

    <figcaption>ET-Book &amp; Gill Sans are based off the font pairings of my personal Jekyll theme: <a href="https://bradleytaunt.com/et-jekyll-theme/">ET-Jekyll Theme</a>.</figcaption>

<h2>Playfair Display &amp; Roboto</h2>
<p>Download: <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playfair+Display">Playfair Display</a>, <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto">Roboto</a></p>
<p><figure>

<h2>Karma &amp; Open Sans</h2>
<p>Download: <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Karma">Karma</a>, <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Open+Sans">Open Sans</a></p>
<p><figure>

<p>Download: <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Libre+Baskerville">Libre Baskerville</a>, <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Oswald">Oswald</a></p>

    <img src="/public/images/libre-oswald.webp" alt="Libre Baskerville Oswald">
    <figcaption>Libre Baskerville &amp; Oswald oozes character and takes inspiration from a more print-based medium.</figcaption>
</figure></p>
<h2>Fanwood &amp; League Spartan</h2>
<p>Download: <a href="https://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/fanwood">Fanwood</a>, <a href="https://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/league-spartan">League Spartan</a></p>
