Compare WhatFont
WhatFont tells you the name of a font when you hover over text. In Safari, Siteprint lists every font family a page uses, what each one is for, and the full type scale, with the colors and layout around them.
WhatFont started as a bookmarklet, and its main version today is a Chrome extension, so Safari is not where it is maintained. If you only need a font's name in Safari, single-purpose finders such as Fonts Ninja and What Font for Safari exist. If you want to know how a site uses its type, Siteprint reads that.
The Typography tab lists the font families a page uses and the role of each one: headings, body text, code. It shows the type scale from the largest display size down to captions, with the weight, line height and letter spacing of each style. Highlight a style and Siteprint outlines where it is used on the page for a moment.
Fonts are only half of a look, so the same scan also gives you the palette with each color's role, the corners and spacing, and the layout of every section. All of that is free to inspect.
For well-known sites, the answer is already written up: see what font Stripe uses, Linear, Vercel or all the designs, each with its type scale and color codes.

No. Siteprint reads the fonts the page sets in its text styles. Lettering drawn into an image or logo is part of the picture.
