Using Chrome's devtools:

font-family: ui-monospace,SFMono-Regular,SF Mono,Menlo,Consolas,Liberation Mono,monospace;

So, under ideal circumstances, it depends on your browser's settings.

According to the stylesheet, the code is displayed in the first font available on your system:

  1. Consolas (on Windows),
  2. Liberation Mono,
  3. Courier,
  4. monospace

It depends on the fonts you have installed on your computer. For Mac OS X 10.9 it defaults to Courier.

Of course, they may at any point change the font to their liking. E.g. to Comic Sans.
