Fonts are an integral part of design languages.
There are multiple font-identification tools available online.
They can either be free of cost or paid.
Identifying fonts is a key skill and an integral part of a designer’s job. Even if you are not a designer, you may want to know what font something is. Here we have some tools to help you identify fonts. Some of these resources are automated, while others are community-driven.
The goal of this article is to help you find the resources that not only provide accurate font identification but also provide support and feedback to help you improve your font identification skills.
Tools to identify fonts easily
WhatFontIS Website
WhatFontIs is a website that provides users with an easy way to identify fonts anywhere as long as there is text. You can use this to identify the font on a signboard, in a book, or on the label of a medicine. Here is how you can use this website:
1. Go to the WhatFontIs website on your device
2. Either drag & drop the image or take a picture of the font
3. Click on “FIND THE FONT”
This will generate over 60 free and premium fonts that are identical to the font in the picture. It is also worth noting that WhatFontIs has a catalogue of over 850,000 fonts.
WhatTheFont
Much like WhatFontIs, WhatTheFont is a web-based tool with the only thing different being that it doesn’t accept the image URLs and instead allows us to upload an image on the page. Once the image is uploaded, you can search and select the individual font you’re looking for.
The best part about WhatTheFont is that it can work well with any image. It doesn’t matter what image you’re using the tool will identify the font and along with that, it will show similar fonts that are close to the actual font. It also lets you download the font as long as it is free.
WhatTheFont also has a dedicated app that is available on Android and iOS.
Font IN LOGO
Font in Logo is a website with which you can identify the fonts used by certain brands or companies. In order to do so, all you have to do is to enter the name of the company or brand and see if it’s available on the website’s database. If you want to see the name of the font that is used by the company, simply click on the search results and see the name of the font.
This site lets you experiment with different fonts and try them on various logos. As soon as you find a good font that matches your logo, you can use the font.
These are some of the tools you can use in order to identify different fonts.
