16,687 Pointshow to combine fonts
I am creating a creepy website for a creepy convention. I have found my serif font for titles and headers (https://www.dafont.com/friday13.font?fbclid=IwAR1u7lQ0l_EkHWpJ5UnpNq9_IxkrrOm2uatPzuOVgZVpbhTUzCFsSiItYBA). but I do not know which sans serif I have to take I am not very good at combining fonts. I normally take Bitters & Roboto but in this case it has to be creepy.

Treehouse Project ReviewerHey Conor Vanoystaeyen ! Anything design-related is going to take practice before one becomes 'good' at it, so don't worry!
Some spooky suggestions:

https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Creepster
https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Eater
https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Nosifer
https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Butcherman
I would suggest against using a display font (heavily decorative like those above) to use as a content font. If you already have spooky title and headers, I think it's perfectly fine to have just a regular sans/serif font for body.
There are a few tools out there that will help you with font pairing, and help you visually. Here are a few that I suggest:
