: What font would compliment Source Code Pro for better readability? Please see this example: I use Source Code Pro for my website as main font. While I like the look and feel of the font
Please see this example:
I use Source Code Pro for my website as main font. While I like the look and feel of the font and I chose it specifically for that, I have the impression, that it does not work very well for the average reader. I definitely want to keep it for my headlines and menus, but I would like to choose a different font for the blog posts content. I was experimenting with different fonts, but nothing really struck me which one could be awesome for it. I was trying Source Sans Pro, but it was too narrow compared to the headlines.
What am I looking for when I am choosing fonts for readable text and what font could possibly compliment Source Code Pro best?

Source Sans will be the most complimentary. I initially had the same opinion but with a few adjustments to Source Sans like the font-size and letter-spacing (shown below), I think it looks great.
Try Roboto
fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,500,500italic,700,700italic,400italic,300italic,300

Did you tried Open Sans (http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/open-sans) yet? The characters are a bit more wider as Source Sans Pro and still have a modern & simple feel.
I think that Open Sans would be a suitable option in term of readability.
