What is that font??

I recently began a project that involved incorporating a logo that used a font I was not aware of. I went through the motions of trying to match the font with ones that I thought would match. I had no luck getting a complete match. So I did my usual; search google for the answer. Google pointed me in the direction of myfonts.com.

There is a section on myfonts.com that is labeled, “WhatTheFont”. It was exactly what I needed. All I had to do was upload the file or a picture that was taken and myfonts.com would send you back the possible fonts used. My font was recognized instantly and I was able to continue with my project using the correct font.

If there is a font that myfonts.com can not recognize, there are forums you may post your image to and have others around the world attempt to identify the font.

There is also an application for the iPhone that you can download and use right from your phone for instant use. You snap a picture of the font, upload the image, and if your font is recognizable, it will be identified.
