Mighil

What is Mighil?

Mighil is a browser extension that enables users to detect fonts on any page, swap them with candidates from Bunny Fonts or their own uploads, and see the result on real content, layout, and breakpoints before touching CSS or design systems. It is designed to simplify the process of testing and refining typography on live websites.

What are the key features of Mighil?

• Inspect font specs on any text by right-clicking, allowing users to copy font family, color, contrast, or experimental font file URL.

• Scan the live DOM to list all fonts in use, with counts, and target specific font families or use a wildcard to apply changes to all fonts.

• Try over 1,900 fonts instantly by searching Bunny Fonts or uploading custom fonts, and apply them to the page with one click.

• Limit font changes to a specific area of the page by picking elements to scope the swap, and save these areas per hostname.

• Save rules per site, so that shortlists are applied consistently across visits, and revisit reference sites with the same swaps in place.
