How to choose
- If the title is only a few words — Choose a display or ultra-bold sans
- If the title is long or wraps — Choose a clear bold sans without heavy decoration
- If you mix web headings and body copy — Choose bold headings plus a regular sans body
- If you want a magazine or vintage feel — Choose a heavy serif or retro display
License note
Headline use is still license-bound. Confirm commercial rights before paid covers or ads.
