WhatTheFont : MyFonts

http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/


If you've ever come across a particular bit of writing and wondered what font it was in, then this is the tool for you. Upload a picture of the text (gif, jpeg, etc., etc.) and after a bit of jiggery pokery it'll suggest a list of possible fonts.

I tried it a while back and it worked brilliantly - but I was idly wondering about some text on the side of a drinks carton this afternoon, and I remembered what a brilliant tool this was.

Identifont can do a similar thing without requiring the font scanned in. You answer questions about shapes of letters instead. It's pretty good in my experience.
