WhatTheFont ist ein Servicem mit dem man Schriften suchen kann, die nur als Grafik vorliegen. Man lädt einfach einen repräsentativen Ausschnitt der Schrift als Bilddatei auf die Seite und erhält eine Liste an Vorschlägen, welche Schrift die verwendete sein könnte.

Tips for optimal results:

• – Try to get the text as horizontal as possible.
• – Letters should be around 100 pixels tall in your image
• – Make sure letters aren’t touching each other.
