I've tried all the "font detectors" online and none of them gave me the name of the actual font. They all looked kinda the same but they're not the same font. Could someone please identify it and let me know? Thank you in advance.
EDIT: Here is the site where I found it. Please ignore the content. It's a long story

where did you come across this? if it's a web page or something, it should be pretty easy to sleuth it out.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes exactly, if it is a website the font will be downloaded to your browser and you can see what it is (and grab the font file...) in your browser network tools. Filter for font types like woff, otf, ttf to help you find it.

Downloaded it in a .woff format and then converted it to .otf. Thank you for making me learn something new

It's an article that I've linked into the OP. Edited it. So I guess I can do an "inspect" on Firefox and find the font somewhere there?

Yes. Here's what it looks like for your example website on my end:

Yup. Downloaded it in a .woff format and then converted it to .otf. It looks fantastic on my kobo ereader

Is it Latienne Std Regular?

I checked the image with What the Font?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I used this what the font site and it gave me the same result. It's close but not the same.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

My browser says the font used on the site is Latienne Pro.

Yup, that's the one.

This actually might be it. I've been comparing letters and they're very similar. Thank you

[–] jerkface 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Please post the answer when you find out.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

I actually found it in the "inspect" menu in firefox. It is the latienne-pro font

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

It looks like HoboTLR

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Looks similar to Footlight. Maybe it’s by the same designer (Ong Chong Wah)?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Very close, but not the same
