The best Tenor Sans pairings
01 · Tenor Sans + Cormorant Garamond
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.
Tenor Sans sets wide, refined headlines with a fashion-label feel, and Cormorant Garamond has a small x-height that suits large sizes more than paragraphs. A sans headline over a serif body is the editorial inversion: modern on top, bookish underneath.
02 · Tenor Sans + 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.
Tenor Sans sets wide, refined headlines with a fashion-label feel, 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.

Using Tenor Sans on a website
Sizes
Tenor Sans 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
Tenor Sans comes in a single weight, so there is only one file to load; do not fake bold with font-weight, which makes the browser smear the letters. Self-hosting with next/font, or font-display: swap with the Google Fonts CSS, keeps text visible while it loads.
Tenor Sans is free on Google Fonts, where you can see every weight and style it comes in.
