Edelman Technologies Identify a FontBy David Edelman on 03.01.07 Have you ever tried to re-create a document but were unable to identify the font? It's a tedious process of arrowing through dozens or hundreds of fonts. And in the end, you may not find something that work. A fantastic website called Identifont can lead you straight to the answer free of charge! The site asks you a series of questions until it narrows the possibilities down to 20 fonts. For example, does the center of the M touch the baseline? Is the dot on the "i" a circle or a square? They make it easy by showing you an example for each answer. Simply click on the picture that looks closest to your font. For me, it took about five minutes and twenty questions for them to narrow it down from thousands of fonts to 10. That includes the time spent searching for a solution on Google. If you don't own the font, never fear. They offer links to buy them online. |
