How to identify fonts used in any logo, picture, or website?
I used a super simple and free solution to identify all the above fonts. Its name is WhatFontIs and it is the best font finder you can use.
The powerful software is the most advanced font finder, for several years now, and it is free to use. It comes loaded with over 600k indexed fonts, it works with all font foundries, and it is the only system that can identify both free and paid fonts.
It can be used in 2 ways, depending on what we need to do.
- As a Google Chrome browser extension (get it from here for free)
Using the font finder from the browser extension you can easily identify fonts used on the web: in emails, on websites, landing pages, and everything else. This opens a huge opportunity. We can easily find out the name of any font from the web and get over 60 free and paid alternatives using WhatFontIs. We get the results directly from the browser extension.
You will find the WhatFontIs icon in the upper right part of your browser. Click it to activate the software and when you hover your mouse over any text, you will find out the used font.
- You can use directly WhatFontIs website
If you want to identify fonts from pictures, you will use directly the font finder website.
Upload the picture, crop it if needed, write down the letters that the software identified (this step is made automatically if you are a registered user), and right after you will find out the following info:
- The name of the font you wanted to identify.
- If it’s free or paid and how much it costs.
- Where to get it from.
- Over 60 free and paid font alternatives.
Conclusions
There is a lot to learn when from how famous logos look. All of them are very well balanced, inspiring, and what amazes me is that they use free or not so highly priced fonts.
Many times, we think that we need complicated or expensive products for our websites, logos, or many parts of our lives. This is not true and we can see that every moment when we are using cheaper or even free products.
Hope this article helped you find fonts for your logo or project. Don’t forget to use WhatFontIs to identify fonts from all the places you want – emails, websites, landing pages, and pictures.
