4 Ways to Identify Fonts From a Picture

Font Matcherators

These ‘matcherators’ use computer software to pair a picture of your font to fonts they have uploaded to their database. Each of the databases has different fonts loaded, so if one doesn’t work, try another.

Mobile Apps for Font Identification

Facebook Groups for Font Identifying

PINNED! :)
