I'm in the process of redesigning my website, and I've selected Bebas Neue as a font for my logo and major features (navigation etc), but due to its blocky nature and the fact that it's 100% capitals, it's not really good to use as body copy.

Here's a link to Bebas

I guess I just need to find something that would work well with it, but fonts aren't really my strong point. Can you lend a hand?

The "golden rule" of font combinations is to pick fonts which give contrast. Since Bebas is a sans-serif font you should consider picking a serif font.

Thanks for this, I'll look into it and see what's feels right. – danielhanly.com Jan 25 '12 at 10:01
Font pairings can also be contrasted using typographic color and other visual qualities. However, the mood of the typefaces should be compatible with one another. – Lèse majesté Jan 28 '12 at 0:26
