Whether you're a web designer, developer, content creator, or typography enthusiast, Font Detective provides instant, comprehensive font details with just a hover of your cursor.
Key Features
This extension gives you detailed typographic information of any text on a webpage simply by hovering over it. You instantly see font family, size, weight, style, line height, letter spacing, color (in RGB and HEX), text transformation, and text decoration. These details pop up in a stylish tooltip that follows your cursor for convenience.
One of the standout features of this extension is the easy-to-use toggle switch within the popup. You can quickly enable or disable the font detection feature with a single click, directly from the extension icon on your Chrome toolbar. This toggle state is remembered across browsing sessions, providing a seamless experience.
Intuitive and Attractive Interface
Font Detective offers a beautiful user interface enhanced with attractive gradient icons in multiple sizes, ensuring it looks great in any Chrome toolbar. When activated, the tooltip appears with a modern translucency effect and clear visual hierarchy for effortless readability. The popup window for settings is designed with a consistent green gradient theme and includes a status indicator that clearly states whether the extension is active or inactive.
Practical for Professionals and Enthusiasts
Web developers can use Font Detective to efficiently inspect typography without digging through developer tools. Designers can review font applications in real time without switching tools. Content creators and bloggers can verify font consistency and styling across articles. Typography lovers get an easy way to explore fonts on their favorite sites.
Installation and Usage
Installing Font Detective is simple and quick. After downloading the extension package, install it through Chrome’s “Load unpacked” option in developer mode. Once installed, just hover over any text on any website to see the font details appear automatically in the tooltip.
