font inspectorWhat font does Mailchimp use?
Mailchimp’s 2018 rebrand paired a quirky, warm serif with a plain grotesque, and the combination still defines the site.
Short answer: Mailchimp uses Means, a serif, for its headlines and Graphik for body and interface text. Both are self-hosted on mailchimp.com.

The main font stack in the CSS:
font-family: "Graphik Web", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;- A textbook serif and sans pairing: the serif covers under 6% of the text but sets the whole tone.
- The serif stack falls back to Georgia, and the sans stack to Helvetica Neue.

}How we checked
We opened mailchimp.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.
