What font does Pinterest use?
A visual network keeps its type out of the way: one friendly sans serif, generous sizes, no serif anywhere. We inspected the logged-out landing page.
Short answer: Pinterest uses Pin Sans, its own typeface, for all text on the website, from the 70px sign-up headline down to 12px footer links. It is self-hosted on s.pinimg.com.

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 | Pin Sans | 70px | 600 | normal | normal |
| Body text | Pin Sans | 16px | 400 | 1.4 | normal |
| Navigation | Pin Sans | 12px | 400 | normal | normal |
The main font stack in the CSS:
font-family: "Pin Sans", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;- The landing page headline is 70px at Semibold, 600, with the browser’s default line height.
- Weights run from 400 to 900. The CSS declares 400, 500, 700 and 800 files, so 600 and 900 text renders with the nearest heavier file.
- The fallback stack is one of the longest we have seen, covering Linux desktop fonts and Japanese system fonts before reaching Arial.

About the fonts, and whether you can use them
Pin Sans
Pinterest’s proprietary sans serif, used across the website and apps. The file names show cuts tuned for macOS rendering.
Can you use it? No. Pin Sans is proprietary. Figtree and DM Sans are free sans serifs with a similar round, friendly feel.
Finding a font does not license it. More in how to get a font you found, legally.

}How we checked
We opened pinterest.com in Chrome on November 5, 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.
