Whether you are a designer or not, choosing font pairings for your designs can be tricky and time consuming.
To help you out, I’ve done all the hard work for you and collected together a variety of different typefaces and chosen suitable complimentary fonts to pair with them.
I’ve avoided choosing fonts that are trendy right now because often these fall out of fashion too fast – meaning your designs could look dated in mere months.
Rest assured the fonts I’ve included in this list are elegant, stylish, versatile and timeless, ensuring that your designs will remain visually appealing and relevant for years to come.
The font pairings I’ve selected include serifs, and san serifs in a range of styles to help you choose the right pair for your project.
Both free for personal and commercial use in Canva, Yeseva One has a wonderfully feminine look and pairs really well with Poppins.
A modern font, I choose Poppins as it beautifully echos the curves of Yeseva One, plus Poppins has a large range of thicknesses ranging from thin all the way to extra bold and black.
I paired these two minimalistic fonts together as I think that Antic looks like the sans serif version of Arvo and are a great example of an elegant Canva font combination.
Both free in Canva, they are one of the more versatile options that I’ve included in this list.
A pairing that sounds like a kids’ playdate, I think these fun fonts pair together really well. I just love how playful and fun both Marykate and Maely are. Plus they’re both available free in Canva!
If you’re looking for a modern capitalized title font, then this is a fab option. Available for Canva Pro users it can be paired with a number of different fonts to create different looks.
I paired it with Th Sarabun New as it’s another font that can easily be paired with others and I like it’s simple and elegant but modern style.

Both free fonts in Canva, I choose Courier Prime to go with Blastine as I think that together they both have a sort or arty vibe to them. Blastine looks like it was written with paint and the typewriter look of Courier Prime gives it a sort of newspaper collage feel.
Walbaum Decorative caught my eye and I included it in the list due to its vintage and retro vibe. A serif font available for Canva Pro users, I’ve paired it with Hatton, another typeface with an elegant vintage look to it.
Sometimes a design requires a readable script font to compliment a modern title font. Font pairings like these work well for adding a touch of feminity to a design without losing the modern styling.
I’ve gathered together more script fonts in the cursive Canva fonts blog post.
Another script font that can be paired with a sans serif title font is this pair. These two however have a fun and younger vibe than the pair above, reminiscent of a high school homework book or teens’ diary cover – this font pair certainly gives off playful vibes.

Together, these fonts create a fun, approachable aesthetic that’s ideal for kids’ brands, playful branding, or any design where you want to spark a smile and capture the carefree spirit of youth.
The pairing of Bernier Shade and Halimum, both free in Canva, exudes a charming, vintage bistro vibe that I think is perfect for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in your designs.
Bernier Shade brings a touch of rustic elegance with its shadowed, all-caps style, reminiscent of classic café signage and hand-painted menu boards.
Halimum, with its clean and elegant script, adds a sophisticated yet approachable touch, making it ideal for accentuating the details in your designs.
I choose Fredoka and Montserrat as a font pair as I think they make a modern and playful combination that’s both approachable and versatile.
Fredoka’s rounded letters bring a sense of fun and warmth, making it perfect for adding a touch of personality to your designs. In contrast, Montserrat offers a clean, geometric style that adds structure and sophistication, ensuring your text is both legible and stylish.
