What font does Stripe use?
Stripe’s site is one of the most imitated in tech, and much of its calm, precise feel comes from a single typeface used lightly: big headlines at weight 300 rather than bold.
Short answer: Stripe’s website uses Söhne, a typeface by Klim Type Foundry, for all of its text. It appears in the CSS as sohne-var, a variable font served from Stripe’s own 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 | Söhne | 56px | 300 | 1.03 | -0.025em |
| Subheading | Söhne | 48px | 300 | 1.03 | -0.02em |
| Body text | Söhne | 22px | 300 | 1.1 | -0.01em |
| Navigation | Söhne | 14px | 400 | 1 | normal |
The main font stack in the CSS:
font-family: sohne-var, "SF Pro Display", sans-serif;- Headlines are set in weight 300, light, with tight line height and negative letter spacing. The size carries the emphasis.
- The CSS turns on the OpenType feature
ss01, one of Söhne’s stylistic sets, across the site. - The page also loads Source Code Pro, an open source monospaced font, for code samples.
- The family name in the CSS is an internal alias. The font file name,
Sohne, gives the real typeface away.

About the fonts, and whether you can use them
Söhne
Söhne is a grotesque sans serif designed by Kris Sowersby and published by Klim Type Foundry in 2019. It draws on Akzidenz-Grotesk and the look of mid-century transit signage.
Can you use it? Söhne is a commercial typeface. You need a web license from Klim Type Foundry to use it. Inter and Hanken Grotesk are free and sit in the same neutral, modern territory.

}How we checked
We opened stripe.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.
