font inspectorWhat font does IKEA use?
IKEA sells in dozens of languages, so it built its brand typeface on Noto, the family designed to cover every script. It replaced Verdana, and before that the company’s famous customized Futura.
Short answer: IKEA’s website uses Noto IKEA, a customized version of Google’s Noto Sans, for all of its text.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Headline | Noto IKEA | 40px | 700 | 1.25 | -0.035em |
| Subheading | Noto IKEA | 28px | 700 | 1.36 | -0.027em |
| Body text | Noto IKEA | 14px | 400 | 1.5 | normal |
The main font stack in the CSS:
font-family: "Noto IKEA", "Noto Sans JP", "Noto Sans KR", "Noto Sans SC", "Noto Sans TC", "Noto Sans", Roboto, "Open Sans", system-ui, sans-serif;- Bold headlines are tightened, from -0.035em at 40px to -0.027em at 28px. The larger the type, the tighter the tracking.
- The stack lists Noto Sans for Japanese, Korean and Chinese before any Latin fallback.
- Body text is a compact 14px, typical for a store with dense product information.

}How we checked
We opened ikea.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.
