If you found a nice font on the internet, you might want to use it yourself. There are several websites that you can use not only to search for fonts, but also to download them. You can read what they are in this article.
Fortunately, we live in a time where more and more things are centrally documented, and that brings some advantages. In this case it is sometimes possible to search large font databases. This would be pretty difficult if you had to do this manually, so luckily there are tools out there to help you with this. What The Font is a great site.
what font
What you can do on this site is upload an image with the font you’re looking for. Next, you need to specify which letter exactly corresponds to which part of the image, then the site will look for the right font for you. It doesn’t always work, but even if it doesn’t, you’ll still have a really very similar font.
give direction yourself
Identifont.com is a great website if you don’t have an image on hand, but know exactly what the font you’re looking for looks like. You can search this website primarily by various criteria such as the name of course, but also the name of the font it looks like, the symbol that appears in it and the name of the designer/distributor.
But what’s more interesting is that you can also go through a survey to get one step closer to your font based on Yes / No answers. Admittedly, this is slightly less accurate than WhatTheFont’s service, but at least it’s a great way to find the font that excites you, and hopefully exactly the font you’re looking for.
If you come across a beautiful font while browsing a website, you can quickly and easily recognize it by installing the WhatFont extension for your Google Chrome browser. The extension displays an icon in Chrome. Clicking this changes your mouse pointer to a question mark. Hover this over a website’s fonts and you’ll immediately see what font it is. Practical!
