For example follow simple HTML code display "Stack Overflow" in web browser. My question is what is the default font family and how can I check it? (Are there any specific way to check this?)

it looks like this is the default font-family: font-family: “Helvetica Neue”,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; with fallback property.
The default font family is defined by the browser preferences. In this example, the browser will try to use Source Sans Pro if it's available. If it can't find it, it will try to use Arial . If it's not available either, it will use the browser's sans-serif font.
In the window on the right side of the screen, look for the text using the font you want to check out. It will become highlighted when you select the corresponding HTML element: Next, click on the Computed tab and search for “font-family”: You should see the name of the font and its style listed here.
1em is equal to the current font size. The default text size in browsers is 16px. So, the default size of 1em is 16px.
Here is an overview of default web browser fonts: http://www.granneman.com/webdev/coding/css/fonts-and-formatting/web-browser-font-defaults/
You can also download a browser plugin to select some text and get the font name (e.g Font Finder for Firefox)

Each browser has a default stylesheet, e.g. this one from Chrome:

Alternatively, just Inspect the element, and look at the computed tab.
