Find The Font You Want

December 2, 2015

I recently had a project that asked me to use the same font they had on their website in a video I was editing but they didn't have the names of the fonts they used. Seems like a dead end, right? Wrong! You can search for the fonts used on a website seconds!

Step One: Find a page with a font you like, this is the site I was looking at:

Step Two: Pull up the code. But, wait, I know nothing about code! Never fear, it's not as hard as it looks. To pull up the code in chrome go into "View" in the toolbar and scroll down to "Developer" and choose "View Source" and the code will pop up.

Step Three: Search for the font. You can spend hours reading through lines of code looking for the font names or you can make your life a lot easier by pressing command F to pull up a search box (in the upper right corner). Once the search box is up type in "Family" to find the font family. The word family will then be highlighted throughout the code. The font name will appear after "Family="

Step Four: Download your font. Once you have found your font name just take it into google and search for the font (note many websites have more than one font so you may have to scan through a couple before you find the one you were looking for).
