What font does CNN use? Cnn Sans Display.

CNN's website sets its type in Cnn Sans Display, on a light #FFFFFF canvas with #0C0C0C text. Copy the palette and fonts, or a ready prompt to build something original in this style with Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable or v0.

      CNN fonts and type scale

      CNN's website sets both headings and body text in Cnn Sans Display. Body text is 16px, section headings 24px and the largest display type 36px, at weight 700. If you can't use Cnn Sans Display, ask your AI for the closest free match and keep the sizes and weights.

      How do I build a site that looks like CNN with AI?

      Open the Prompt tab above, change its first line to what you are building, and paste it into Lovable, v0, Bolt, Claude Code or Cursor. For a whole project, install the Claude skill or the Cursor rule instead, so every screen keeps the style. Build something original: keep CNN's look, not its name, logo or copy.
