Second, have maximum of three fonts, otherwise your website my look very cluttered. Your top choice has to go to the logo or site title. The second goes to the headings and the third for the text. Have a plenty of white space as it increases readability.

Let’s take Medium as an example, Medium is one of the top online publishing platform where people publish blogs. Medium also has used one font for site title, another for headings and third for texts. You would see a lot of white space for readability. Space between lines i.e. the line space is made equal to the height of the line itself for a clean look.
