import { Inter, Plus_Jakarta_Sans } from 'next/font/google'
export const inter = Inter({
subsets: ['latin'],
display: 'swap',
variable: '--font-inter',
})
export const jakarta = Plus_Jakarta_Sans({
subsets: ['latin'],
display: 'swap',
variable: '--font-jakarta',
})
// app/layout.tsx
<html className={`${inter.variable} ${jakarta.variable}`}>
// tailwind.config.ts
fontFamily: {
sans: ['var(--font-inter)'],
display: ['var(--font-jakarta)'],
}
```
## Font Pairing Presets

Body: Source Serif 4
Editorial:
Heading: Playfair Display
Body: Lora
Tech/Dev:
