01How to find font names on the web using the Inspector

Using Google Chrome or Firefox as your browser, right click on the section of text you would like to find the font name for.

Next to the Styles tab, click on the Computed tab. Underneath the concentric colored squares, there should be a section called “font-family” where you can find the name of the font.
