font-pairing-suggester — Claude Code skill: font pairs and hierarchy
Suggests font combinations for a given use case and shows heading hierarchy with examples. Handy when you need a free stand-in for a paid typeface.
npx skills add OneWave-AI/claude-skills --skill font-pairing-suggester -a claude-codeWhat font-pairing-suggester does
The skill turns the agent into a typography helper. Describe the job — landing page, docs, deck — and you get a pair that works together by style and weight. It also maps paid typefaces to free Google Fonts alternatives.
Inside is an instruction block for the agent plus an output template: results first, then recommendations and next steps. Hierarchy comes with examples, so you can see how a heading, subheading and body text sit together. The format is ready to paste into a mockup or CSS.
It answers a specific request rather than auditing a whole project, so without your description it has nothing to pair for. Worth installing if you pick fonts often and are tired of hunting for alternatives by hand. The install runs through npx, so Node.js has to be on the machine.
What it helps with
- pick a heading and body font pair for a landing page
- swap a paid typeface for a free Google Fonts alternative
- show heading and body hierarchy with a worked example
- get a copy-paste block of typography recommendations
- explain why two typefaces work together
Example prompts for the agent
- Suggest a font pair for a SaaS landing page: headings and body text
- What can replace a paid typeface like Helvetica? I need a Google Fonts option
- Show the hierarchy for a travel blog: h1, h2 and a paragraph
