As an aside, I didn't know what Comic Sans looks like, so I searched on Google and it rendered the whole page in that font. I tried with other Fonts too like Arial and Times New Roman, and it did the same there. So cool!

If you search for Lucas de Groot (the designer of Calibri) you will get the results displayed in Calibri.

Sadly, it doesn't work with the coolest niche fonts... https://www.google.com/search?q=ibm+3270

Very cool... but I can't seem to get it to do so for other fonts I can think of off the top of my head... Inconsolata, Consolas, Fira Code, etc. "Times New Roman" does work as well.

Would be cool to see google support this for at least all the fonts in Google Fonts' library, since they're already well supported web fonts.

This was super cool - nice little Google easter egg.
