font inspectorWhat font does LinkedIn use?
When you inspect LinkedIn, the answer depends on the device in front of you. That is deliberate: a system font stack costs nothing to download and makes the interface feel native everywhere.
Short answer: LinkedIn’s logged-out home page loads no web fonts at all. It uses a system font stack, so you see San Francisco on Apple devices, Segoe UI on Windows and Roboto on Android.

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 | System font | 48px | 400 | 1.25 | normal |
| Body text | System font | 20px | 400 | 1.5 | normal |
| Button | System font | 16px | 600 | 1.5 | normal |
The main font stack in the CSS:
font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", sans-serif;- We inspected on Windows, where the stack resolves to Segoe UI. On a Mac the same page renders in San Francisco.
- The stack is unusually thorough: it names fonts for Ubuntu, KDE, GNOME and old Android versions too.
- The headline is regular weight, 400. Only buttons and labels use 600.

Sites change their type without notice. Font Inspector shows the rendered font, size, weight and spacing of any text on linkedin.com or anywhere else, and lists every font on the page. Free, no account.
About the fonts, and whether you can use them
System font stack
The CSS names the interface font of each operating system in turn. The browser uses the first one that exists on the device. No font file is downloaded.
Can you use it? Yes, and it is free. Copy the stack below into your own CSS. Each visitor’s device supplies the font.
Finding a font does not license it. More in how to get a font you found, legally.

This starter uses Inter, which is open source, with the sizes and spacing measured above. It is an approximation, not a copy of LinkedIn’s brand typeface.

}How we checked
We opened linkedin.com in Chrome on September 20, 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.
