Great Free Font Tool: Find Fonts Online with Identifont

Jul 24, 2007

Identifont is a free online tool you can use to figure out the name of a font when all you have is a sample on a Web page or in print. If you have ever racked your brain trying to purchase or download a font that matches one you have seen somewhere, check out this free Web-based tool at www.identifont.com.

Identifont walks you through a series of questions and lets you choose the characteristics of letters, numbers and symbols until you find the font you are looking for — or one that closely resembles it.

The easy-to-use, Web-based interface on Indentifont.com walks you
through a series of questions until you find the font you are looking for.

The tool works best when you have a full set of letters, numbers and symbols to refer to. If you only have a limited number of lower-case letters in a logo or tagline, for instance, you will have a harder time choosing characters that match.
