My portfolio site looked like a mess for months until I fixed the fonts
For like 6 months, my homepage had this bold display font paired with a script font that was way too fancy, it just clashed. I finally swapped the script for a simple sans-serif after seeing a clean example on a design blog. The whole page just looks calmer and more professional now, it's a night and day difference. Has anyone else fixed a font pairing that was making their project look worse?

My old blog had this 28px header in Playfair Display with a 16px body in Lobster. It was a total eyesore, like a wedding invite mixed with a diner menu. I get what @nathan_davis means, it's so easy to get attached to a fancy font. I finally switched the body text to Inter and it just clicked. The page stopped fighting with itself.
