Tom Walsh Design - What The Font!

Some of you may already be aware of this handy little tool (as its been around for a while) but I decided to write a post on it as it never ceases to surprise me with its accuracy. Recently I was working on a project where I was sent an existing design that needed a quick edit, but with only a jpeg to work from I couldn’t be totally sure what font had been used for the titles, which is where What The Font! comes in. You just crop out a section of the text you need to identify the font from, upload it (see above) and voila! It returns a selection of options based on analysis of each character. In the example here I’ve used my logo, and as you can see from the final image it returned the perfect match straight away! Also, if you’re not happy with any of the matches it offers, there’s a well maintained forum full of type-geeks to offer their suggestions, and not forgetting the iPhone App for those font queries when you’re out and about…
