What font is used in this forum?

Question is in the subject. I came here to browse a bit and found the forum font to be very nice. If you identify it somewhere on the site, I didn't find it. Thanks!

Nice site, by the way.

It’s a custom typeface made for this purpose and currently not publicly available.

FDI Qualia Serif. I recommend activating the Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Show functions for Developers option in Safari if you're on a Mac. Also, the browser extension WhatFont? is a great tool to look up fonts you are curious about.

@Ralf Herrmann I also recommend that you do whatever it was that you did to the FDI Elfenfraktur font (which I have purchased) on its demo page to Qualia Serif on this site. That would stop sneaky b*stards like yours truly from snatching it from this website. 😉 
 

PS. I respect intellectual property and will never use your font for anything public. Perhaps for the odd birthday invitation, but that's about it. I'd buy it if it was for sale, though.

Thank you, Ralf, for the information. And thanks, too, Bjørn, for suggesting the WhatFont extension, which I like very much. BTW, on my version of Safari (17.4.1), the sequence you mentioned seems to be Safari > Settings > Advanced > Show features for web developers. Or at least I assume that's the same thing you're talking about.

Now if I just had a spare £40 so I could buy a license to Robert Green's Doves Type.

Also, I'd consider purchasing a non-commercial, personal use license to FDI Qualia Serif if it were made available.

Yes, that’s it. I just did a qualified guess based on what I saw in my Norwegian version of Safari.
