  Just throwing this out there as perhaps a suggested article or post idea for someone.

  It would be great if a clever designer / typography type person put together some suggested combinations of the Custom Fonts available in WordPress.com.

  There are many similar articles on Google Font Combinations, but nothing I could find on WordPress.com.

  Seems like a good time to do it too with the new Custom Fonts being available. (http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/11/07/new-custom-fonts/)

  Any takers?

  Hi there,
  The custom fonts available are Typekit Fonts.
  https://typekit.com/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-fonts/
  As they are listed at Typekit I cannot imagine why WordPress.com would duplicate the list here.

  Did you read my post?

  I’m talking about putting together suggested combinations of fonts for Headings and Body Text.

  Such as these articles:
  http://www.studiopress.com/design/google-font-combinations.htm
  http://www.mrmcguire.com/10-useful-google-font-combinations-for-your-next-site/
  http://www.insquaremedia.com/blog/15-web-design-stuff/50-our-favourite-google-font-combinations

  And many more similar.

  I think it would be a great idea for someone to post 5-10 suggested combos. Bound to help a lot of people that often struggle with which ones to use. And would no doubt get some decent traffic.
