Check the "fonts" section of the pgweb readme:

It seems to be Arial but the Q is a little different. Maybe it's another
font?

adjustment.

My understanding is that it's a fairly obscure font that Tom's wife has.
If you want the logo you're best off just using the logo.

No, that's the one used in the headlines, not the logo. And it's not
particularly obscure, it's just commercially licensed.
