What the web is set in
Every week we load 10,086 homepages in a real browser and record which fonts they use. Last crawl: Sep 23, 2026.
Names are set in their own font when it’s free to use. Grey names are commercial fonts we can’t license. Sparklines show the trend across 177 sites we can trace back in time, dashed where estimated from web archives.

Our crawl has 1 week of data so far. A switch counts once a site shows a new font in two crawls in a row, so the first ones appear after the next weekly crawl. Until then, the web archive history is the only view of change.
