The best Kanit pairings
01 · Kanit + Roboto
Design that makes the first impression last
Good type does its work quietly. The headline sets the voice, the body carries the reading, and the contrast between them tells the eye where to go first.
Kanit sets square-shouldered, sporty headlines, and Roboto is familiar and legible, the default of Android and much of the web. Two sans-serifs pair through contrast of weight and width: set the headline heavy and tight, the body regular and open.

Using Kanit on a website
Sizes
Kanit is a headline face: use it from about 28px up, for headings, hero lines and short labels, and set paragraphs in a calmer partner.
Spacing
At large sizes, set line height between 1.0 and 1.2 and tighten letter spacing slightly (around -0.01em to -0.02em); in all capitals, loosen it instead (around +0.02em to +0.05em).
Loading
This page loads 400 and 700. Load only the weights you actually use: every extra weight is another file before text can render in it. Self-hosting with next/font, or font-display: swap with the Google Fonts CSS, keeps text visible while it loads.
Kanit is free on Google Fonts, where you can see every weight and style it comes in.
