What is this tool?

Fontjoy is a fast starting point for pairing fonts from Google's web-font library on a website, slide deck or student project. It stops at suggestions: Fontjoy's site has no account, saving, export or upload of your own fonts, so you carry the font names into your design tool. It is a small project with a 2017 copyright and no terms, licence or support pages on the site.

Read full overview

Fontjoy runs on its home page with no sign-up. Generate a set, lock the fonts that work, regenerate the others, adjust the contrast and type your own text into the preview; when a set looks right, follow each font's link to Google Fonts and use the names in your own design tool.

Fontjoy suggests only from Google's web-font library, so you cannot pair commercial, Adobe or your own uploaded fonts, and its site has no saving, export or sharing function. No price, plan, account or trial appears on Fontjoy's home page, method page or projector page, or in its maker's repository. The site publishes no terms of use; the repository of the font vectors behind it is MIT-licensed, and Fontjoy says nothing about the licences of the fonts it suggests. Fontjoy is a small project by Jack Qiao; its 'Logo maker' link goes to Brandmark, a separate product.

Is this right for you?

Quick fit check against how you actually work.

Choose this if
  • You are choosing among fonts from Google's web-font library and want quick pairing ideas for a title, subtitle and body
  • You already like one font and want suggestions that fit around it: lock it and regenerate the rest
  • You want to try pairings without signing up or paying
Consider alternatives if
  • You need to pair commercial, Adobe or your own uploaded fonts; Fontjoy suggests only from Google's web-font library
  • You want to save, export or share a type system with a team; Fontjoy's site has no account, save or export function
  • You need published terms or support: the site has no terms, licence or support pages, and font licensing is not addressed on the site

Key features

What you can actually do with this tool.

Three-font sets in one click

Each generation proposes a title, a subtitle and a body font together, so the pairing is judged as a set.

Lock, pick and adjust contrast

Keep any font you like, choose one by hand, and move the contrast setting to get pairings that differ more or less.

Pairing by visual features

A neural network compares fonts by how they look, looking for similarity in some respects and contrast in others, with body-text legibility weighed as well.

Preview with your own text

Type your own words into the preview to see the set as it would read.

Links to Google Fonts

Each font in a set links out to its page on Google Fonts.

Frequently asked

Common questions about this tool, answered.

Is Fontjoy free?

Free to use: Fontjoy runs on its home page with no sign-up, and no price, plan or payment appears on Fontjoy's site or in its maker's repository, though Fontjoy publishes no statement of pricing either way.

How do I get the fonts it suggests?

Each suggested font name links to that font's Google Fonts page; Fontjoy itself provides no download, export or file.

Can I use the suggested fonts commercially?

Fontjoy does not say anything on font licensing, so check each font's licence before commercial use. Every suggestion comes from Google's web-font library and links out to Google Fonts.
