“I promise this story about fonts is interesting”
I'm a programmer at heart. But in my 20s, I discovered there was a whole world of fonts beyond Courier.
Curiosity got the better of me, so I started building a system to explore and identify them.

Today, WhatFontIs helps nearly one million designers—from everyday creatives to some of the biggest names in the industry—find the fonts they're looking for.
