What font does Spotify use?
Spotify replaced Circular with its own typeface, Spotify Mix, in 2024. Opening spotify.com leads to the web player, so that is the page we inspected. The previous font still shows up in the fallback stack.
Short answer: Spotify uses Spotify Mix, its own custom typeface, in the web player. Interface text is set in the SpotifyMixUI cut and titles in SpotifyMixUITitle, both served from Spotify’s CDN.

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 | Spotify Mix (title cut) | 24px | 700 | normal | normal |
| Button | Spotify Mix | 16px | 700 | normal | normal |
| Navigation | Spotify Mix | 14px | 700 | normal | normal |
| Body text | Spotify Mix | 14px | 400 | 1.5 | normal |
The main font stack in the CSS:
font-family: SpotifyMixUI, CircularSp-Arab, CircularSp-Hebr, CircularSp-Cyrl, CircularSp-Grek, CircularSp-Deva, "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif;- During our inspection the title font was still loading, and section titles were briefly drawn in Helvetica, the next available font in the stack. This is exactly the kind of fallback the rendered-font check exposes.
- The stack lists
CircularSpfonts for Arabic, Hebrew, Cyrillic, Greek and Devanagari, so scripts that Spotify Mix does not cover still use Spotify’s version of Circular. - The web player is an app, so sizes are small and uniform: 12 to 16px for nearly everything.

About the fonts, and whether you can use them
Spotify Mix
A custom sans serif made for Spotify with the type foundry Dinamo. It blends geometric and grotesque shapes, and comes in separate cuts for interface text, titles and monospaced text.
Can you use it? Spotify Mix is proprietary and cannot be licensed. Spotify used Circular before it, so the free alternatives to Circular get you close to the brand’s earlier look.
Finding a font does not license it. More in how to get a font you found, legally.

}How we checked
We opened open.spotify.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.
