About Raleway

Raleway began as a single thin weight by Matt McInerney and was later expanded into a full family by Pablo Impallari and Rodrigo Fuenzalida. It is an elegant sans with a distinctive crossed "W" and old-style numerals by default, which gives it a fashionable, display-like feel similar to Century Gothic or Neutraface.

Best used for

Fashion, lifestyle and beauty brands
Headings and large display text
Elegant invitations and posters
Portfolio and agency sites

What to pair it with

Use Raleway for headings and a sturdier serif such as Merriweather or Lora for body text. If you need aligned figures in tables, turn on lining numerals with font-variant-numeric: lining-nums.
