I wonder what font that is?
Wonder no more. WhatTheFont! is an easy, comprehensive, and free(!) tool to help you answer that looming "What font is that?" question. Upload an image (screen shot, picture, etc.) of the font in question, supply a little clarifying information, cross your fingers, and see if you get lucky. It's not 100% accurate and the quality of your image certainly makes a difference, but with the challenge of, say, creating a department page for an already established publication, it might just make your life a little easier.
And for your innergeek, WhatTheFont! also comes in a nifty iPhone app!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing :)
Yup, I have come across that need often. Great to know
ReplyDeleteabout this site! Fantastic name too.
Oh man, there's an app??? Thanks for sharing that, I had no idea!
ReplyDeleteMyFonts is seriously one of my favorite sites ever. The WhatTheFont feature is great, and I especially love it for display fonts when I'm designing show posters for silkscreening. This is an essential site for typeface nerds, for sure.
