typography help

[Shevy]

Hi,

I am a new web designer (just finishing a web design course actually and working on a free site for a client in order to gain experience..)

I needed some help pairing fonts.. I wanted to use open sans as the main body font but needed a 2nd font to go with that.. My client sells custom decorated cookies.. and I was thinking perhaps a flowy font (but not exactly script) would work with the design of the site.. (I would be using this font mainly for headings etc..-larger font size..)

Can anyone recommend fonts that would pair well with open sans and accomplish my goal? 

Thanks!

Serif for titles and sans serif for body text.

Thanks stefan! Any specific Serif fonts that are flowy that would work well with open sans that you can recommend?

Anyone else have recommendations on what font they would use or a tool that helped them pair fonts?

Thanks in advace!

Hi. Not really ... it depends on the subject of the site. For example, if you were doing a site to promote an horror film, I would be considering the Chiller font for the headings. I tend to keep my body text neutral. So sans-serif like open sans ... as an example.
