How this was measured
- One homepage per website, loaded in Chrome between 2026-09-16 and 2026-09-17.
- A typeface counts when it renders visible text. A font file that loads but draws nothing is not counted.
- Web-font packaging is merged into the family: Graphik Web counts as Graphik.
- The main heading is the largest text on the page; body text is the typeface with the most characters at 22px or smaller.
- Parked domains and bot-check pages are left out.
