The Manual Way
SlowUsing Chrome DevTools, you can find font information for any element. However, this requires inspecting each text element one by one.
Open Chrome DevTools
Right-click anywhere on the page and select "Inspect", or press F12 (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + Option + I (Mac).
Use the Inspector to Click on Text
Click the inspect icon (arrow in a box) in the top-left of DevTools, then click on the text you want to identify. The element will be highlighted in the Elements panel.
Find font-family in Computed Styles
In the right panel, click on the "Computed" tab. Scroll down or search for "font-family" to see the font being used. The first font in the list is the one actually rendered.
Note the font-size and font-weight Too
While you're there, scroll to find font-size and font-weight in the Computed panel. You'll need all three properties to fully replicate the typography.
Repeat for Every Text Style...
Most websites use different fonts for headings, body text, navigation, buttons, and captions. To see all fonts, you need to repeat steps 2-4 for each different text style on the page.
Time estimate: 2-5 minutes to identify all fonts on a typical page
