We’ve all been there. You’ve seen a font that you really like, but you have no idea what it’s called! Or you’re concerned that the font being used on a marketing item may not be right one, but you can’t get hold of the designer and don’t have the software to check the artwork…

There is a tool to help you – and it’s a simple app for your phone!  It’s called WhatTheFont.

This handy app is avaible on photh iOS and andriod phones. You can identity the font in 4 easy steps.

1. Download the app and open

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Take an image of the text you would like to identify

4. It will then work out what font you are after
