Use case

Font pairings for social media posts

Social posts are seen on a phone, in a feed, for a second. Type has to read small and stand out among everything else in the scroll. The examples above show the current pairing on social media; press Space for another, or pick one below.

Design for the thumbnail

Check the post at the size people see it in the feed. Short lines and heavy weights survive; long paragraphs don't.

One idea per slide

In carousels, give each slide one line in the heading face and one supporting line at most.

Keep it consistent

Use the same pairing on every post so the account is recognizable before anyone reads the name.

Questions

What fonts work best for Instagram posts?
Bold, simple heading faces and a clean body font. Avoid thin weights and long text; the post is often seen at a few hundred pixels wide.
Can I use the same fonts on my website and social posts?
Yes, and you should. Shared type ties the brand together across channels.
