What the Heck Font is That?

Wednesday, August 20, 2003

Y’ever find a sample of type that you love?  Or try to recreate an existing typeset word?  Ever find yourself crippled by asking, “What the heck font is that!??”

Identifont asks you a series of questions to determine the details you do know about the font and narrows its database down to a small number of likely candidates.

Even cooler, though, is What the Font?!”, which takes all the work out of guessing.  Just upload an clean image (or URL) of the mystery font and the system uses its technological magick to identify the name of the font!

Thank you - these will be helpful. Doing more web work than print these days, I’ve lost my quick eye for identifying fonts.
