There was a time when the content of every website looked similar. And that is because the typography was so similar to each other, one could hardly make out the difference. 

As a designer, you may always be overwhelmed with the idea of choosing the right font for your design project. However, as and when the situation arises, you need to view the larger picture. 

The challenge of selecting the right combination of fonts will always be there, hence we bring to you the best Google font pairs or combinations to try out for your next project. 

1. Montserrat and Oswald

The Monsterrat font was designed in agreement with the urban typography of the 20th century.
