font inspectorWhat font does Reddit use?
Reddit is text at scale: thousands of titles and comments per visit. The site hands all of it to the operating system’s font and downloads nothing, which keeps the feed fast on any device. We inspected the logged-out home feed.
Short answer: Reddit’s website uses no web font. Post titles, comments and navigation are all set in the system font stack: Segoe UI on Windows, San Francisco on a Mac, Roboto on Android. Reddit’s own typeface, Reddit Sans, is not loaded on the page we inspected.

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 stack | 20px | 400 | 1 | normal |
| Subheading | System font stack | 14px | 600 | 1.43 | -0.003em |
| Body text | System font stack | 14px | 400 | 1.43 | normal |
| Navigation | System font stack | 14px | 600 | 2.71 | normal |
The main font stack in the CSS:
font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", sans-serif;- Only two weights are used, 400 and 600. Post titles in the feed are 14px Semibold with a touch of negative tracking, -0.003em.
- Text runs small: 14px for titles and comments, 12px and 10px for metadata.
- Reddit Sans, the typeface Reddit released with its 2023 rebrand, is published under the SIL Open Font License and is on Google Fonts, but this page does not load it.

About the fonts, and whether you can use them
System font stack
The classic stack: -apple-system and BlinkMacSystemFont for Apple devices, then Segoe UI, Roboto, Helvetica Neue and Arial, with the emoji fonts named explicitly. On our Windows machine it rendered as Segoe UI.
Can you use it? Free to use: copy the stack into your CSS and each device supplies its own font. If you want Reddit’s brand look instead, Reddit Sans is open source and free on Google Fonts.
Finding a font does not license it. More in how to get a font you found, legally.

}How we checked
We opened reddit.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.
