The best Rubik pairings
01 · Rubik + Lora
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.
Rubik gives headlines a friendly weight with slightly rounded corners, and Lora is a balanced serif made for comfortable long reading on screen. A sans headline over a serif body is the editorial inversion: modern on top, bookish underneath.
02 · Rubik + Merriweather

Using Rubik on a website
Sizes
Rubik works across the scale: body text at 16 to 18px and headings from about 28px up, so one family can carry a whole site.
Spacing
For body text, use a line height of about 1.5 to 1.65 and a column of 60 to 75 characters; tighten to about 1.1 to 1.2 for headlines.
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.
Rubik is free on Google Fonts, where you can see every weight and style it comes in.
