How it works
02 / Inside the tool

MADE FOR actual use.

Useful details, not extra steps.

What the tool helps you do—and where its limits are.

01 / Type Inspector

Look beyond the font name

Inspect the declared font stack and the rendered font family alongside the other properties that shape the text. Review individual values, copy CSS declarations, or capture a CSS block for reference.

One task, clearly handled.01 / 05
02 / In the workflow

Investigate inconsistent styles

Selector details and a summary of visible typography help you understand how fonts, sizes, weights, and heading patterns are being used across a page. The tool can also identify likely font sources where browser access permits it.

03 / In the workflow

Inspect changing states

Freeze mode helps with hover-open menus. Resting mode lets you inspect text without hovering over it, which is useful when a link or menu changes its typography as the pointer moves.

04 / In the workflow

Access when you request it

Inspection starts on the active tab when you choose to inspect text. The latest capture is stored locally. Browser-internal pages and other protected content remain subject to browser restrictions.
