Since you asked: there are a few extensions that promise they identify web fonts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They fall short on this promise in two ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Some give you the name of the font by inspecting the CSS and sometimes you get the font name&nbsp; as \u201cyfph-n3\u201d (kind of useless in our opinion)<br>&nbsp;<\/li><li>Some correctly identify the web font name but give you no clue where to get the font.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We tried to solve those issues. Besides correctly identifying the font name, we also provide you with 60 alternatives from different foundries, free or commercial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Any thoughts?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t keep them to yourself, please take 1 minute to complete this survey:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/sHH7DQQREk1vL42u5\">https:\/\/forms.gle\/sHH7DQQREk1vL42u5<\/a>&nbsp;so we can make the service better.<br><br>Enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WhatFontIs comes to Chrome: we managed to teleport the experience of 10+ years in identifying fonts to a Chrome extension.<br \/>\nIt will identify any Web Font or font from any website and will also give  60 alternatives (free and commercial).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":73851,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-about-fonts"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Identify Web Fonts - Google Chrome Extensions - WhatFontIs Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/identify-web-fonts\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Identify Web Fonts - Google Chrome Extensions - WhatFontIs Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"WhatFontIs comes to Chrome: we managed to teleport the experience of 10+ years in identifying fonts to a Chrome extension.
