font inspectorWhat font does Bloomberg use?
Bloomberg’s typography comes from Bloomberg Businessweek, the magazine for which the Neue Haas Grotesk revival was first drawn. We were redirected to the Asia edition of the front page.
Short answer: Bloomberg’s news site is set almost entirely in Neue Haas Grotesk, in Bloomberg’s own web cut named BWHaasGroteskWeb, with a custom cut of Avenir Next in the site header and footer.

Sizes, weights and spacing by role
These are computed values from the live page, which is what the Font Inspector panel shows when you click each element.
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line height | Letter spacing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Subheading | Neue Haas Grotesk | 20px | 700 | 1.2 | normal |
| Navigation | Avenir Next | 12px | 600 | 1 | normal |
The main font stack in the CSS:
font-family: BWHaasGroteskWeb, BWHaasGroteskWeb-fallback, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;- On our first pass the web fonts had not finished loading and the whole page was drawn in Helvetica. That is the fallback at work, and a good reason to check the rendered font and not only the CSS.
BWHaasGroteskWeb-fallbackis a metric-adjusted fallback face that limits layout shift while the real font loads.- The front page uses sizes from 10px labels up to a 72px headline.

Sites change their type without notice. Font Inspector shows the rendered font, size, weight and spacing of any text on bloomberg.com or anywhere else, and lists every font on the page. Free, no account.

How we checked
We opened bloomberg.com in Chrome on September 21, 2026 and read the computed styles of its visible text: the declared font stack, the font actually rendered, and how much of the page’s text each family sets. That is the same data the Font Inspector extension shows under Fonts on this page. We re-check these pages periodically, and the date above shows the last inspection.
