“Font Harmony™” helps you choose the right font for the job.

- “Similar Fonts™” streamlines your search! Just choose a reference font and click ‘Find Similar’. TypeDNA will analyze the characteristics of the your font and list similar one selections you could choose.

- “Font Recognition” determines which font has been used in a flattened JPG file without ever having to leave the Font Manager Adobe Photoshop,  InDesign or Illustrator.

I’ve had great success with these two services when trying to identify typefaces.

If you have an image of the font- try whatthefont… 70% of the time, this is the only step you’ll need.

If not, try identifont, (which asks you a series of questions to narrow down the options within their database).

Lastly, if all else fails- the forums over at whatthefont are excellent (You’ll usually get an answer from someone the same day).
