So
you are browsing through your favorite website and found a site that uses a font that you love and want that font for
you too, must be as quickly as possible! So how do we go about finding out what
that font is called?
One easy option is to simply email the webmaster and ask for the name of
the font and where to get it.
This can take some time and not all webmasters will reply. So, I have
decided to share this free online tool to speed up the identification process.
What The Font
The
tool is developed by one of the largest font providers myfonts.com, WhatTheFont is one of the best spot for
identifying your fonts. Simply upload an image file (maximum file size 2mb for
best result) of the font that you want to identify and upload it to their
servers or specify an image URL on the WTF interface, and the system will show
you multiple font results. If unable to find it, it will prompt you to go to
their where you can post the image and wait
for feedback from font experts as to what that font may be called. I’ve used
both systems and this usually solved most of my font questions.
What The Font
You can even identify a font from your mobile using WhatTheFont Mobile Apps. Just take
a snap of the photo from your mobile phone and WhatTheFont Mobile will identify
that font in seconds. WhatTheFont Mobile is available from the Android Market
and iPhone App Store you can download it from here.
