What does this tool do?

Good pairs contrast clearly — often a serif with a sans-serif, or a bold display face with a quiet text face — while sharing similar proportions. Each pairing here has been chosen for readability on screens.

All fonts are free from Google Fonts under the SIL Open Font License, so you can use them in commercial projects.
