What
the Font?!
Have you ever
run across an image with a font you really liked, but didn’t
know what it was? Well, never fear! Now, you can identify those mystery
fonts with ease on this Web site. Oh yeah!
How does it work?
Well, it’s quite simple! You just click the Choose button and
then find the image with the font you like wherever you saved it on
your computer. Or, you can put in the URL of the image with the font
and then click Upload Image. The site will then try to match the font
with the best of its ability. For more tips on submitting your font
for a match, make sure you check out the usage
guide.
What happens next
is the application tries to identify characters in the image you submitted.
So, you’ll see your image repeated many times down the page
with a box next to it. In the box, there will be a character the application
thinks it found in the image. You need to make sure each character
is correct. If they aren’t put in a correct character, go ahead
and click the Search button.
Now, it will load
up which fonts it thinks matches and you can then scroll down the
page and compare your image to the fonts they have selected.
If it can't match
the font, don’t despair! Help is still there waiting for you
in the What the
Font Forum. Just click the Consult an Expert link at the bottom
of the page and you’ll be taken to the log in page. It’s
really easy to sign up. Just fill out the form and click the Create
Account button. Then just submit your query to the forum members.
The people on there are really good at figuring out which font is
in your image. You’ll see the most recent posts to the font
forum right on the front page and you can also click Next to look
through all the entries.
This site is a
real haven for font junkies like me. Check it out today!
