Notes

  • Google Fonts — font can be loaded directly via Google Fonts API; no licensing concerns.
  • Custom + substitute — brand uses a proprietary font, but a visually similar open-source font is available as a fallback.
  • Custom only — brand uses a proprietary font with no close open-source equivalent.
  • Scraping failed — site returned a bot-protection response or timed out.
  • Detection method: HTML/CSS scraping (Google Fonts <link> tags, @font-face declarations, CSS custom properties, preloaded font files) with Brandfetch API as fallback for sites where scraping yielded no result.
  • Test run against live sites; results may vary due to A/B tests, region-specific content, or CDN caching.
