The 15 Most Popular Fonts for Landing Pages
One of the most important aspects of any design process is the search for the correct font to create a beautiful user interface! A landing page, as well as a website or even an application, is composed of 70/80% text, so, as you can imagine, choosing the right font can make a big difference in the outcome of your design.
Now, you’re probably wondering: How do I choose the right font for my landing page? What are the rules I must follow to avoid choosing the wrong font and compromising the quality of my design? These are legitimate questions, and in this list, we will suggest three aspects to keep in mind when choosing a font for your landing page, as well as a list of the 15 most popular fonts for landing pages, with specific instructions on how and when to use them.
The list of the most popular fonts comes from our gallery of landing page design inspiration, while the suggestions come from years of experience designing and reviewing landing pages.
Three key aspects to keep in mind when choosing a font for your landing page
Brand consistency: One of the most common mistakes that expert (and non-experienced) web designers make when choosing a font for their landing pages is selecting a particular font without considering its relevance to the product’s identity. The font should match the look and feel of a product and not contrast it. So before choosing a font, you should ask yourself: Is this font relevant to the brand identity? For example: If you are designing a landing page for modern software, it might be best to exclude any Serif font as they are generally more suitable for corporate and classic product websites.
Type of content: When selecting a font for your landing page, it’s crucial to take into account the type of content it will accommodate. If the layouts have minimal text, you can explore more unconventional font choices. However, if the majority of your layouts rely heavily on textual elements, it’s advisable to go for a clean sans-serif font like Inter or Helvetica. This will ensure that your content is clear and flows seamlessly.
Font features: The last aspect (but not the least important) to consider when choosing a font for a landing page is the features the font offers, keeping in mind the present and future content needs. Whenever possible, it is a good rule to choose a font that supports an adequate number of styles/weights (10+), and glyphs, and has support for multiple languages (even if your site is not multilingual).

Bonus section: 3 font combination ideas that will make your design pop
We kept this bonus section as a final surprise to show you how to combine some of the fonts mentioned in the list to create spectacular font combinations. For the three examples, we’ll start with a Sans Serif as the base typography and play around with three different typefaces for the headings:
