I need #help finding a #web service I stumbled upon once upon a time.

This service allows you to visually compare and match a user-specified external web #font with a visually similar and system-accessible analog. As a result, it gives a set of values for the #CSS rule 'font-family'.

The goal of the service is to offer native analogs of external fonts to save traffic, simplify layout and reduce dependencies on external CDNs like #Google.

@ltlnx Yeah, that's it. Although the @Sirs0ri version is a bit more convenient due to the code block with the result and manual control of layer visibility.

I very rarely work with typography and when a typography related issue comes up, I almost always have to re-find these and similar tools. Thank you both for your help!
