most of you are likely to adore a font from somewhere, and would want to know what it is for future use, but don't know what font to look for in the first place and where to start looking. here's a little tool site which can help you figure out a font (or at least find a suitable likeness of the font) when you see a font you like in some print or web publication.
http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ how does it work? they have a database of font imageries, and you just have to upload an image of the font you want, sit back, and let the search process your image for matching font/s. beats the hell out of trawling the net for some obscure font.

Oh man, that is a most excellent tip you put in here. Sometimes I spent days looking for a font that I liked but now I know how to find them fast. This website will prove to be a great resource to me. Thanks.

QUOTE(serverph @ Jun 18 2005, 05:51 PM) JACK POT! Whoa! Awesome. Not only I can identify my desired fonts or fonts that I saw, I can use that website to find what I like about a font character and the site then shows me the font I am looking for. So not only it's an identifier but, to me, a font chooser as well. Thanks. |
