If it's a web project, I love using Typewolf to see webfonts in action. For print or traditional design projects, I look around Fonts in Use; and if I don't find anything I like there I'll take to MyFonts and dig through some fonts.
A resource I love is Fonts in Use ( http://fontsinuse.com/ ). I love seeing the combinations in context.
+1 for fontsinuse. This is brilliant when you have a font you want to use (or are required to use for a project), and want to see how others have used it with great font pairings
Once I have a general leitmotif for a project, I usually hit up the following sites for general ideas:
Google Fonts for webfonts Dafont if I want something free Creative Market if I'm willing to pay for it
