We frequently need to alter the fonts to make them appear as professional and as basic as possible, depending on the content.

How can I find a font name on the Internet?
There are many ways to identify or detect a font name you’ve seen on the Internet. The easiest and quickest option is to use the developer tools on your Chrome browser. Now, this method is really useful for people in the software development field, but it can be a little more difficult for people who do not have a programming background, so there are certain steps. Let me demonstrate to you, and I hope you can do it easily.
For Chrome Browser
Step 1>
Choose the text (font) you wish to find the name of.
Step 2>
Right-click, and select inspect (the last option in the list).

Using Third-Party App
Various places on the Internet provide font identification from an image for free, but if you like the font, you must purchase it before using it. I do not advocate purchasing fonts. So, the objective of this part is just to learn the name of the font.
On the website, you can upload an image with the font visible (for example, a screenshot of the website where you saw the font), and the website will tell you the font name after some processing.
