What makes a good heading font?

Great heading fonts are highly legible at large sizes, carry strong personality, and create clear visual hierarchy. Look for typefaces with distinct letterforms, generous x-heights, and strong character spacing. Display serifs like Playfair Display and geometric sans-serifs like Plus Jakarta Sans both excel as heading choices.

What font size should headings use in web design?

H1 headings typically range from 32px–72px depending on the context. Hero sections often use 48px–96px. Body-level H2 headings work well at 24px–36px. Use a modular typographic scale (Major Third: 1.25×, or Perfect Fourth: 1.333×) to maintain proportional, harmonious heading sizes throughout your design.

Can I use heading fonts from TypefaceGen commercially?

Yes. All typefaces on TypefaceGen are served via Google Fonts and licensed under the SIL Open Font License (OFL 1.1) or Apache 2.0, which permit unlimited commercial use, including embedding in websites, apps, and printed materials without royalty fees.
