In case you hadn’t noticed, we have a fondness for Canva around here, and who can blame us when we’ve been handed so many DIY design tools, plus great advice on how to use them?

While images provide a great way to grab your audience’s attention, fonts and effective font pairings add a more subtle flair, so check out these ten suggestions from Canva’s Julya Buhain to add that professional-looking touch to your next design.

1. Launch time

Raleway (51, Bolded, All Caps, Centered, #747676), Yellow Tail (51, Lower Case, Regular,  Centered, #747676), Raleway (28, Bolded, All Caps, Centered, #d3e0d1)

Raleway is a modern, no-nonsense font with classy accents.

• Yellowtail is a playful script with sharp angles that wouldn’t look out of place in the 1930s.
• Keep things bold and fresh with a combination of Raleway and Yellowtail. It’s a good mix of new and old that’s perfect for opening night.

2. Outback Adventures

Alfa Slab Serif (89, Regular, Capitalized, Right, #FFFFF), Nixie One (42, Regular, Capitalized, Right, #FFFFF)

• Thick and bold fonts suit go well with eye-catching words and slogans. Alfa Slab Serif makes for a great choice with titles.

• Thin fonts  at smaller sizes help put emphasis on thicker fonts. Nixie One is a thinner serif font that has a similar feel to Alfa Slab. Both are in theme with the outdoor-sy feel of the design.

• Be adventurous with font sizes. The difference in size and weight can pull emphasis in all the right places.
