What font does Netflix use?
Netflix introduced its own typeface in 2018, replacing Gotham. A custom family gives a company one consistent voice everywhere and removes per-use licensing of someone else’s font. We inspected the logged-out landing page.
Short answer: Netflix uses Netflix Sans, a custom typeface made for the company, for all text on its website. The files are served from Netflix’s own asset domains.

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 | Netflix Sans | 56px | 700 | 1.25 | normal |
| Subheading | Netflix Sans | 24px | 500 | normal | normal |

The main font stack in the CSS:
font-family: "Netflix Sans", "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, sans-serif;- One family sets the whole page. Hierarchy comes from size and three weights: 400, 500 and 700.
- The page also declares regional companions such as
Netflix Sans JAand a variable version of the family, loaded from a second Netflix domain. - The fallback stack names the system font of each platform: Helvetica Neue, Segoe UI, Roboto and Ubuntu.

Sites change their type without notice. Font Inspector shows the rendered font, size, weight and spacing of any text on netflix.com or anywhere else, and lists every font on the page. Free, no account.
About the fonts, and whether you can use them
Netflix Sans
A custom grotesque sans serif created for Netflix together with the type foundry Dalton Maag. It is clean and compact, with a cinematic feel in its capitals.
Can you use it? Netflix Sans is proprietary and is not licensed to anyone else. For a similar clean, confident look, use an open source grotesque.
Finding a font does not license it. More in how to get a font you found, legally.

}How we checked
We opened netflix.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.
