Generate a candidate combination
Use Generate to obtain a new pairing. Fontjoy presents the result as a combination to explore rather than evidence that one particular set is the correct answer for every brand. Begin with a clear role for each text level before choosing among the suggestions.
Lock a useful choice
The official instructions describe Lock for retaining a font while generating alternatives, and Edit for choosing a family manually. This supports a practical comparison: hold the body choice steady while exploring a headline, then reverse the process if the paragraph proves unsuitable.
Replace the sample wording
Fontjoy says its text is editable. Use the actual company name, longest heading and a realistic paragraph rather than accepting a combination only because the demonstration words look attractive. Include names, punctuation and numbers needed by the project.
Turn the shortlist into a specification
Record the chosen families, styles and intended roles. A pairing suggestion does not by itself deliver a complete website or install resources in every app. Continue with font-pairing principles and the font-file guide when moving from exploration to implementation.
Your questions, answered.
Can Fontjoy keep one font while changing another?
Yes. Its official page describes using Lock for fonts you want to retain.
Does a generated combination prove it suits my text?
No. Use your own wording and compare the actual text roles before selecting a combination.
